If the issue is causing a corrupt database, that will be detected on an OS when the database is accessed. Calibre will do that, or you can use an SQLite database management tool or command-line tools to check.
Still if it were a Kobo bug you’d think we’d see much more reports of it, especially here since I’d estimate the majority of us side load. Granted as you say it’s not every time that it happens but few enough people seem to have corrupted databases that it might point to something outside of Kobo. The scan and fix message has plagued windows users for years now.

I’m curious if those having issues eject and unplug when the OS reports it safe or unplug when the Kobo goes back to the homescreen as these events aren’t always in sync with each other.
