I'm not completely clear which plugins do what and which will do what you say... it sounds like the last on the list may be all I need?

The database version update is still being done but you need to install a calibre version where that update has been done.
The Kobo Reader Device interface is for the Kobo and Kobo WiFi (the ones with the D-pad control button) so you shouldn't need it. The KoboTouch and KoboTouch Extended both work with the Kobo Touch and any newer Kobo models. Where they differ is that the KTE driver has the ability to convert epub to kepub on the fly.
In both the KoboTouch and KoboTouch Extended drivers, you can open the configuration for the driver and on the Metadata, on device and advanced tab, check the Attempt to support newer firmware checkbox. Given that several posters on MobileRead are in the Kobo beta program, any issues with using newer firmware are very likely to be reported before a public release.
I'd also suggest installing the KoboUtilities plugin since I find it very useful.
