I realize I'm an oddball in this, as most users seem to love any kind of library management features on their eink readers.

I don't think you are an oddball. I mostly use the same process as you. That's why for me bouncing back and forth between my Nook and Kobo is not an issue. Nook has the same lack of Calibre controlled library sorting that Kindle has.
The thing is, I wouldn't use many of the Kindle exclusive features either (X-ray, Goodreads integration). And for sideloaded, non-KFX files, Kobo and Nook have nicer page layout.
And there have been times where I decide I want to read a series, but can't remember which book is the first. Kobo has been helpful there. Granted, that has happened maybe twice in the years I've used a Kobo. But when it happens, it is handy.
