Sideloading does require a library account which will require them knowing your information and an Adobe account for DRM to obtain the epub.

Personally, I do not support removing DRM from library books since, IMNSHO, I don't own the books and will not be making backups and removing DRM also removes the return date.
I have a Kobo too, which is where I use Overdrive.

And yeah, I agree that de-DRMing library books isn't ethical.
