This has been working well in the past, on the Aura and on the Forma that's currently in the shop for a backlight repair. I have also tried sync with the beta of Calibre 3.40.5 but it also does not update reading progress.
The book is an ePub and has the extension .epub on the computer, but it has the extension .kepub.epub on the device.
I'm not sure what other information to give, or where to look for the solution.

As stated above, I am having no issues with fetching the reading status for books from my devices. This function has not changed recently, and nothing in the firmware has changed that affects this.
This is a function of the Kobo Utilities plugin, so support for it should be in the thread dedicated to the plugin in the calibre forum. But, the simplest answer is that the plugins configuration has been changed to not automatically start the job to fetch the reading status. If you have a profile for each device, then it could be that the id used to match the device has changed. The id comes from the file "driveinfo.calibre" that calibre puts in the root directory of the device. If this file is removed, calibre will recreate it with a new id. If this is the case, the automatic job to fetch the reading positions won't be started.
The other common problem is that the book on the device hasn't matched to a book in the library. If this is the case, you will need to fix the metadata that is causing the book no to match, or do the manual match in the device list. In this case, the automatic job to fetch the book status will be started, it just won't find any changes.
