As I couldn't access edit goal to manually restore, I copied the contents of my most recent backup to the json and that fixed it at least.
Any other similar issues from other users?

Sorry, no one reported this kind of issue (not until now, anyway). My usual suspect is the JSON editing.
The JSON file is really fragile when handled manually. Even a minor error (a misplaced comma, missing a closing bracket, etc.) can lead to calibre rebuilding the database. And this can cause a lot of strange things, since it has to guess the missing bits.
But that's just a guess. Maybe is a bug in the plugin.
If you find any more info on that, or if it happen again, please let me know, so I could try to reproduce (and hopefully fix it).
Most of the plugin functions were supposedly stable by now, except for the auto migration, that was yet to be tested, and caused some problems. But that's a one time operation and can't be doing anything by now.
