By fake registering, you mean setting UserID to 1? It's always worked fine for me, no reason to be scared of it. In what contexts does it break?
In other news, I figured out more about calibre-web. With the fake login, I was unable to get calibre-web to work. After factory resetting, logging in with a Kobo account, and changing the custom api_endpoint provided by calibre-web to httpS, it works and loads the books in my library! Unfortunately it doesn't get the book covers or let me download any of the items.
In conclusion, it's normal for Discover to not work if you use the "fake login" method.
