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, Discover should not work if you use the "fake login" method.

It may not break anything. But some firmware updates caused the need to reset the Kobo. So you could update your Kobo one day and because you've fake registered, your Kobo would need to be reset. It's happened twice and could easily happen again.
There is no reason not to do a proper registration. I've had an account with Kobo for over 10 years. I also have had a Kobo for 10 years. I've been properly registered. There has never been a single issue.
The reason that Fake registration no longer works is because something changed in the firmware since that hack was created.
