My sync goes on forever with a lot of partial home screen flashing and eventually times out with a network error. I noticed that the sync seems to almost complete: it downloaded 4/5 new books, but I'm missing one of them. I checked Kobo's bookstore and the book indeed exists so there should be no error on the pass-through from Overdrive/Rakuten.

I also powered the device on/off with no change in behavior.
When you powered off and on, did you lose anything? I have seen what you are describing when the database has been corrupt. If it is, then you normally lose recent changes after a restart. Things like older books appear on the home screen or the reading status reverting. And in this case, the three books downloaded disappearing.

You can check the database with my Kobo Utilities plugin for calibre or any SQLite management tool.

Something else to try is to download the missing books manually. If they are listed in the library list, then you can download them one at a time and hopefully that will allow the sync to complete properly.
