Are there any "workarounds" that actually work, such as using gift certificate on Kobo's Canadian site?
I have successfully set my Kobo to use the Japanese store once, but it was a few years back, and I've misplaced the steps I took. Theoretically, you could shop the Canadian store from the US if your Kobo was setup as a Canadian Kobo with a Canadian account, but I don't know about Kobo Plus. I've heard it's more stringent.

What other subscription plans make sense for Kobo readers?
The problem with subscription plans with the Kobo is that if there isn't a native app, there isn't a way to authorized the web content. People have wanted to access their paywall news using Kobo's Pocket support, but without web authorization, it can't happen. The Kobo web browser is very bare bones.

Is a Kindle subscription plan + Calibre a viable option?

TIA
Yes, but then you'd be stripping the DRM from the books and robbing the authors of their payment. They only get paid if you read the book on the Kindle.
