So there's no .kobo directory available for me to copy to after the factory reset. If I format it, create a .kobo drive and copy the contents of the latest FW release, it just drops back to the Welcome screen asking for a wireless or computer setup.

So it appears that after a factory reset the kobos uSD card has no Android accessible partitions. After setup (like on my Glo), I can access the uSD with my OTG cable no problem.
That isn't what is supposed to happen. I have done many factory resets and connected to a PC before doing the setup. With what you said was happening before doing the factory reset, I suspect the card is failing. At this point, I'd usually suggest getting a new card and writing an image to it. But, I doubt you will be able to do that from the phone.
