I haven't gotten any news about the Sony T2 from Kobo yet, which is odd since it is connected to the Kobo bookstore.
The update is to 3.19.5761. This was released to the other devices three years ago. And it is the same file as used for the Glo and N905C Touch. I still have a copy from then. The file size is the same and a quick look inside didn't show any newer files.

At this point, Kobo aren't offering an update to a 4.x firmware. I assume 3.19.5761 was chosen because it has the needed security updates, and, as they had previously released it for the Mini for the rakuten affiliate, they already had a tested release.
