I didn't realize that was built into your plug-in. I'll try it out. I do recall seeing calibre errors in previous incarnations. The current one works fine with calibre.
…and a check of the database provided the following data:

That might be recoverable with a VACCUUM. Which is what the compress database function in the my Kobo Utilities plugin does. If the error is just in indexes, this will work, but, the first few errors might prevent it.

In this case, considering that I factory reset from the dev menu four times, there was not an instance of me ejecting the device inappropriately, something I don't do. No amount of repairing the account, or logging out then back in, has made these glitches go away. There is a serious issue with my unit. Perhaps a bad memory module? I really can't say.

It feels like a hardware problem. I think you need to get it replaced.

Although I often rely on this alphabetization when importing books to be added to a collection, when ALL books are reimported as if they hadn't been imported before, finding a dozen books alphabetized amidst 400+ books is a chore. This is what I was referring to. All books, including previously imported books, were being reimported without regard to that timestamp. However, I no longer have that problem. A full factory reset fixed it. Now I have disappearing journals, something that is frustrating since I drew on those pages and put a lot of effort into them.

When I reload a device, I use set the "Date added" to something useful after the import. I swap between the published date and the "Date" column in calibre. The latter is roughly the date I got the book, so it works fairly well for me.

FYI, I ran an undeleting program on the Kobo Elipsa when it was mounted on my Desktop, and it found all the missing *.nebo files. The only problem was that they were all 0 bytes large. They never properly saved to the internal memory. Here I thought I finally fixed it, then the glitch moved yet again. This time to an area I hadn't tested in over a week: notebooks. I have requested a new Elipsa pack from Kobo. Things are complicated since the US store showed that it was sold out earlier today.

Yes, it needs to be replaced.
