I'll give this a go and report back...

The file name is changed for people with multiple devices (model and serial number) and then the time stamp added to allow multiple backups.

As you have worked out, replace the "KoboReader.sqlite". But, you should also remove the other "KoboReader.sqlite*" files. Leaving them shouldn't harm, but, it is safer.
The "BookReader.sqlite" is used for Kobo Plus subscription books and is encrypted. If you do not subscribe to Kobo Plus, it should be something like 500KB.
As to rolling back to 4.30, if you are syncing to Kobo frequently, you won't want to. You can sync and if an update is downloaded, press the "later" button. Then connect to the PC and delete the update files. It's a nuisance, but it can be done. I thought there was a patch to block it, but, it isn't being mentioned, so I'm probably wrong.
And I don't think the issue is anywhere near as bad as @JSWolf makes out. I can't reliably reproduce it. I can go days without issues with multiple connections a day with no issues. And I have spent a reasonable amount of time working with a Kobo developer trying to reproduce the problem consistently. That I said "trying" means we weren't able to. I hope he has some ideas, but, it isn't obvious. Or affecting everyone.
