Are there any ebook readers without these problems?

As mentioned, Pocketbook seems to tick your bulletpoints.
With that said (re: Paperwhite)....
registration required
You can totally skip registration and wifi setup for that matter. You just lose the ability to read Kindle ebooks with DRM and features such as collections and syncing. I've got a few Kindles dedicated to fanfics that I use completely unregistered.
no file manager for easily organizing books
Unfortunately true. If you have the first gen Paperwhite though, that's easily jailbreakable. That gives you access to KOReader which does use a folder structure.
can't change default fonts or add new ones
Doable with jailbreak on 1st gen, natively supported on Paperwhite 2-4 with 5.9.6 or higher firmware. Also supported on KOReader.
no epub support
Doable with jailbreak + KOReader
disabling syncing doesn't seem to work properly
Dunno about this one. My registered Kindles, I actually do want to have syncing. My unregistered ones obviously can't sync.
