The bugs I mentioned are epub only problems. I don't think that there is anything currently affecting kepubs. I have done some recent changes for kepubs. I'll have to recheck them.

To be honest, and I say this with deep appreciation for the work you've done, I'd settle for a robust way to "simply" extract annotations from books. It wouldn't even have to sync to Calibre, just extract them to a .txt file. A fancy alternative would be a single, plain .html with a clickable TOC at the top so I can click around to each book's annotations.

I know you can enable a hidden setting in Kobo devices to extract annotations to a plain .txt file, something I've been relying more and more on.

I understand that trying to accommodate two-way updates to annotations increases the complexity dramatically. I won't pretend having an easy solution to that. Still, for my personal use case, all I'm looking for is a robust way to extract annotations from a book to a static, text/html file I can easily go back to when I want to.
There are five or six ways to get annotations from Kobo devices. I've detailed them a few times over the years. A search of the Kobo forum should find the post.
