I had a look at your sample epub3. I don't think there is anything wrong with the way you've coded your footnotes/endnotes.

The problem is with your NAV/NCX. Kobos (at least for kepubs) are very picky about TOCs. If you stick to the golden rule for NAV/NCX your Kobo reading life will run more smoothly, i.e. make sure that there is a one-to-one relationship between HTML files in the epub and TOC entries in the NAV/NCX.

Using your sample epub3, as an example:
  1. You have one file, plays.xhtml, with 4 entries in the NAV/NCX. You can either reduce the NAV to a single entry of 'Plays' or split plays.xhtml into 4 parts with one NAV entry per part. Whichever method you prefer, do it for all the HTML files which currently have multiple NAV entries
  2. You have 2 files, Cover and Jacket which are currently missing from the NAV. Add them.
  3. You can leave the inline TOC, toc.xhtml, as-is because the Kobo sees it as "just another chapter" in the book, not its navigation system.

It's possible that item 2 may be less important than item 1 but I'm not sure. I've just enforced the one-to-one rule on all my epubs/kepubs for years.

I've attached an edited version of your sample epub3. Use your normal method of transforming it to kepub and you should see that all the footnotes/endnotes now pop-up as expected.
