You don't need dropbox.
I never need to charge my Libra (original) as I leave it connected a while when transferring via USB from Calibre. I never turn on WiFi, which extends battery life.
I do a lot of proof reading, then editing, as well as reading for pleasure, so use Kobo Utilities to read back annotations. I might use the ereader 1 to 12 hours a day, every day.
I've had two older Kobos (Still have Original H2O) and have Sony PRS350, 3x Kindle models (and used others), Boyue Likebook Mars (mostly for library books and some PDFs) and a Kobo Elipsa (used mainly as ewriter, but also some PDFs).
All most all my ebook reading and annotation is on the Libra.

I didn't realise Calibre would send to Kobo without something in between, it's made me look at the models differently now. It is down to the Sage and Libra 2. I'm put off on the Sage because of the battery issues, but then I know the Forma is older (I believe the Sage is the newer version of the Forma). But again, I won't be using it for that many hours each day, maybe 1-2 tops and always at home.
The screen size on the Libra doesn't bother you? I'm thinking now it wouldn't bother me, as physical books I read are probably the same size as the Libra, if not smaller sometimes.
