The Libra would get me a larger screen plus all the same features of the Clara, but I've heard numerous reports about the screen lighting being uneven and that does concern me.

As noted, there's no Overdrive-Kindle borrowing anywhere outside of the USA, so the Overdrive integration is a huge point in favour of Kobo if you borrow library ebooks. Conversion from epub-azw3 is a piece of cake, so long as there's no DRM. And I'm guessing you know how to remove that, which makes you platform-independent apart from library books, not "locked in" to anything at all. There's no need to buy at the Kobo book store just because you have a Kobo device.
If some uneven lighting reports are the only thing holding you back from the Libra, are you able to inspect a device in store in person before buying (or buy then inspect immediately and return if not satisfactory)? That might be an approach that gets you everything you want.
