Your research was spot on. I have found an old USB 2 hub and connected as follows.
Kobo connected to USB 2 hub > USB 2 connected to USB 3 Hub > USB 3 hub connected to Lightning port. And like magic data transfer between Calibre and the Kobo is once again possible.
It is a bit messy but it works! Have to use the USB 3 hub as the USB 2 hub does not have the physical ability to connect to a Lightning port. In fact I don't think a USB 2 hub to Lightning adapter would even exist.
