I don't think that sideloading to Kindles will be blocked in the near future. But there will be probably be more and more features that don't work with sideloaded books.

Kobo doesn't sync sideloaded books. The Forma and the Sage both have Dropbox integration, but AFAIK you can't sync reading progress and notes via Dropbox.

As to speed, I can only compare my Oasis, the Sage and the Libra 1 (haven't received my Libra 2 yet and I don't own any Paperwhites). The Oasis is the fastest, the Sage is also pretty nimble (at least with kepubs), the Libra 1 is slower. The Libra 2 is probably the same as the Libra 1 speed-wise (the same processor and RAM).
