The only solution is to upgrade your entire Linux machine to a version that uses LIBC 2.31.

Having done several linux upgrades, and had numerous things break taking days to fix... this is a pretty insane requirement!

Expecting to use new software on arbitrarily old versions of linux is an insane requirement, given the idiotic compatibility policies of the linux ecosystem. If you want to stick with ancient distros, use ancient software on it. Or switch to windows, which takes compatibility more seriously, you can run calibre 6 on seven year old versions of windows 10 if you want.
