Thanks, that was exactly the problem - metadata was set to "only on send" in the Calibre preferences (probably from a while back when I didn't have a template set at all and it took minutes whenever I connected my android devices).
Looks like I need to set aside some time to reload.
For general reference, this seems to work fairly well across both android and Kobo if you remove periods/ellipses from the series names (e.g. March... -> March to the Stars)
{author_sort:.1}/{author_sort}{series:| - |}/{series_index:0>5.2f} {title}
