I've had fairly good experience with flatpak and snap. Occasionally a particular version of a flatpak or snap doesn't work, but often there are multiple versions in Gnome or Ubuntu software application (using Gnome these days) and it usually seems that one is well-maintained and working. In this example flatpak versions are closely mirroring the Calibre versions and working very reliably with the limitation of being sandboxed.. Like Quoth I too will always choose a deb from Ubuntu ppa or third-party ppa first and then flatpak or snap if not.
