Nothing has changed regards paragraph spacing -- whatever spacing has been set in the book will be used, the only way to change it is to edit the book, or in some cases (if you bought the book from Kobo) to choose to read the ePub version instead if it has different spacing to the Kobo KePub version.

I also read that "'...Kobo devices handle widows/orphans (the splitting that happens to prevent having only a line or two of a paragraph be at the end of a page) very badly."
Has there been any patch to help it?
The KePub reader now ignores widows/orphans so you won't see any of those problems in KePub books (whether synced from Kobo or sideloaded.)

But for ePub books the choice is either to edit each book's stylesheet (Calibre can be set up to do this automatically, if you choose to use Calibre to sideload your books) or to patch the firmware. The only advantage of patching is that it works with DRM books too, whereas you need to remove DRM in order to edit the book's stylesheet.
