I may have missed it but I went back through my NickelMenu install bits and bobs back to May, 2020. Perhaps you could let me know which NickelMenu release included the database user modification?

If you care about your Kobo database, regular backups required regardless.
In my test, the firmware update triggered a full factory reset with the firmware reset to the factory release version and all user content erased. Slightly more damaging than a database reset.

Nor do I find that I get database resets all the time. Even with 4.38.21908 and the database not being properly closed on a USB connect, my restart before USB connect has kept me from seeing the issue. Before this firmware version, I had seen very few database corruption issues, most of which were ones that I triggered when mucking with the database which I find hard to blame Kobo for.
