I tried setting up the "replace device with list, new items only" setting on both of them but that kept leading to some weird results like it deleting all the books from the device, or only syncing one of the lists even if both of them had changed.

It usually works if I change it to "replace device with list, add/overwrite all" but it takes a long time and it resets my reading positions on the Kobo.

Is Reading List not set up to handle more than one list per device when using replace? I'll merge it all onto one big list if I have to but I was wondering if there's anything else I should try first.
I don't use those type of Reading Lists, but, I think having two with those for the same device would be problematic. Thinking about what "replace device with list" means is enough. If I remember this correctly, it will match the list against the device and remove any books on the device that aren't in the list. Then it goes to the other, and does the same. Unless the two lists are the same, it will probably end up with no books. Exactly what happens probably depends on some timing.

For the record, I use the "Add/overwrite all list items on the device" with the "Clear this list after a sync to the device". Then I have one list per device. Any new or changed books get added to the list for the device I want the book on. When the device is connected, the books are sent and the list is cleared. I don't keep a list of what is on the device. Because this method means the list would be "the books that are supposed to be on the device" plus what is in the reading list. And it doesn't harm if I add a book already on the device to the reading list.
