For me, waterproofing is a very nice improvement. It is all that was missing from the first Clara (well, buttons would be great). Extra storage is nice too. I actually managed to fill most of the 8GB on my Clara. Granted, it was through gross mismanagement on my part, but still.
Mainly, I think updating the charger to USB-C and the next generation screen were what caused Kobo to put out the refreshed Clara. They llikely don't want to be where the Oasis finds itself right now.

...but I suppose e-readers have gotten to the point where there is really nothing left to significantly improve. Affordable color e-ink screens perhaps, but I really can't think of anything else.

That's true. Ereaders have gotten to where phones are. There's just not a lot of stuff left to do. One cheap and easy improvement is using slightly faster processors. That is one feature of the current Kindle Paperwhite that I am jealous of. For an eink device, navigation is very zippy.
