*depending on one's definition of "problem".

The only three Kobo related bits of calibre that could be described as plugins and related to a new Kobo model would be the KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended drivers and the KoboUtilities plugin. Looking at the changes for the KoboTouch driver, other than bumping the max dbversion and adding new USB IDs, very few changes have been made in quite a while. For the KoboUtilities plugin, again you can see the list of changes in the spoiler and most of the last batch done by davidfor were related to QT6 while the later changes don't seem to have much to do with new Kobo models.
As previously mentioned, unless you are running from source, you would need to install an updated calibre to add/modify the USB IDs or max dbversion which also updates the drivers and Python.
May I ask why you are not using the Python supplied with calibre so any updates would be applied with a calibre update?
