I clean the metadata when I add the books to my Calibre library. And if I change something later, I won't even have to send the book again. I just connect the Kobo to Calibre and it automatically updates the metadata. It does this very quickly.
A Kindle has to index its books, so yes, loading books to a Kindle takes longer and of course you cannot manage Kindle collections/metadata automatically with Calibre. I've given up on Kindle collections altogether and just create a calibre catalog for browsing the books on my Oasis.
The books are sorted in Calibre in various ways. Kobo takes its collections from the designated column in the driver settings. You can create a column just for this, or use any existing column for Kobo collections.
