I'm willing to wait to see what the next calibre update does.

Thanks so much for your thoughts and advice.
Based on the message from calibre, you had upgraded the Kobo desktop application but not the device. Or you upgraded the device to 4.12.12111 and then backed out to 4.10.11655 without doing a reset.

The reason for this is in the last two lines:
Code:
Device database version: 149.
Device firmware version: (4, 10, 11655)
Database version 149 is from firmware 4.12.12111 or the latest desktop application. The desktop application will update the database if it thinks it is necessary, but, it should also have updated the firmware.

The KoboTouch driver checks both. This is probably overly cautious, but, when there is something that changes and breaks the interaction, then it won't seem so. The change to support these versions will be in the next release of calibre. That should come out today. In the meantime, it is safe to use the option mentioned above.
