KOreader is easy to install if you want that because it just runs Android. It's worse than the built in Neoreader for PDFs though.

Have you used an Elipsa?
The battery is about 30c and lasts months. Maybe 6.
I've used two kinds of Wacom pen (traditional and EMR on reMarkable), I think the MS Surface compatible pen used by Kobo is better.
Before the changing page page while cropped was added it was trivial to use KOReader on Kobo. I've also installed KOReader on an Android eInk and the Kobo was just as easy to install on.
The amount of RAM is only an issue for Android Apps. It's not an issue on any Kobo that runs recent FW.
Does the Boox have native handwriting, shape & maths recognition? Kobo Sage & Elipsa use the Nebo app, but the free version for iPad is less features, the bought version on Android & iPad is similar. Do you have the 10.3″ Boox? Does the Wacom pen work fully with Android apps that use a digitiser like Nebo (it should)?
Also Kobo is better supported by Calibre than any other ereader. The Kindle & Kobo USB MS mode is far better than Android's USB MTP (I have the Boyue Mars Android eink with later OS/Android version).
I've not seen any Android App or ereader with as good Library interface as Kobo (MyBooks + search) or even Kindle. Even Pocketbook and Lithium are poor Library GUI. KOReader can use Calibre Metadata, but for 1000s of documents it's painful compared to Kobo or Kindle, worse even than old Sony PRS-x50 series.
But Collections & Series can be pain on Kindle compared with Kobo managed by Calibre.
