I actually own a Paperwhite 12th gen. Sideloading with Calibre works fine. The book covers appear in the library and as screensavers. I use kfx. I have hundreds of ebooks that I sideload with zero issues whatsoever.

If you have to convert them in Calibre, when you're at it select the personal document setting. It will help you avoid a known bug and also make it easy to filter sideloaded vs kindle ebooks if you ever wish to.
Do you have WiFi turned on? If WiFi is off, if you turn WiFi on, do you lose the covers?
