Given the 'one screen = one page' nature of kepub now (a change I prefer, honestly), would it be possible for your TOC hack to update the page numbers based on that?
For example, the Kobo knows to change the total page count from 400 pages to 538 pages when I increase the font. It is also able to recalculate the pages per chapter. So the Kobo knows that Chapter Four use to start on page 56, but now starts on 64. I wonder if that could be used to add the page number to the TOC?
Having said all that, I personally don't care for page numbers in table of contents. That's a leftover from the paper book days. As long as the reader tells me how many pages the current chapter is and that I'm on page xxx of xxx, that's good enough for me.
