One of the recent flurry of firmware updates had a bug with collections when a particular type of sync was done. The bug cleared them. For purchased books, a later sync would bring the collections back, but for the sideloaded books, if couldn't. This should have been fixed, but if you updated to the bad firmware as a stepping stone, then you might have lost the collections.
But, you shouldn't be losing sideloaded books. Are the disappearing of the storage? Or just from the library? With the problems you have been having, the database might have been corrupted and recent changes not save. When the device restarted after the firmware update, it would have reread the database and that would effectively be an old version that didn't include the latest books. If you connect to the PC and eject, there is a good chance the books will be processed again. Unless they have disappeared completely.

I did wonder about the firmware update. According to the Kobo, I am now using 4.3.8945 which doesn't appear to be the most recent version.
I'll try connecting again and see what happens - the recently sideloaded books in the main memory appear to have disappeared from the library, but the sideloaded books from the card are still there although one appears to have reverted to an old version of the title. I can't tell whether they're still in the storage or not.
