Nothing ever happens when I just sideload the firmware folder.

A factory reset will wipe everything. So there's no need to restore until after you've gotten the firmware you want. You can do a factory reset and then update to the firmware of your choice.
When you did a backup, did you backup the entire contents of the user partition? If you didn't, plug in your Kobo and copy everything. So when you restore, restore everything you copied and put the previous backup of the database in .kobo. If you have put other eBooks on since the firmware update, don't worry, they will be imported into the database and once you plug into Calibre, the collections will be sorted for those eBooks.
The only thing to note is that if you sync, you could end up updating the firmware again. Check the patches for the firmware you want ot install and see if there's any patches to prevent a firmware update when you sync.So if you do sync and there's no way to stop the firmware you want from updating, then stick with 4.18 as you'd end up with it.
