Similarly, I feel the same tired acceptance at having the driver name change with each firmware update, such that I have to go into Disk Management and reassign my preferred drive letter every time. It's part of the process now - annoying, but it has to be done if I want my system to work in my preferred manner.
I just added a book to my KA1, ejected, let the book be processed, reconnected and looked at the time stamps. The time stamp on the .kobo directory and the KoboReader.sqlite file were 8 hours in the future (current local time is 2018-Jan-20, 5:35 PM, time stamp is 2018-Jan-21, 1:35:31 AM). Since PST is 8 hours behind UTC, I'd say, that, like several Linux systems I've used, your Kobo is using UTC for the file system timestamps.

As for the name change with each update, that is an annoyance that we are going to have to live with.
