Though regularly updating two Sage ereaders* I'm not having corruptions:
1) Open Calibre
2) Go to MyBooks
3) Connect cable, wait a bit and then tap.
4) When done eject from Calibre. (No Jobs running)
5) Wait for black screen, importing and books visible in My Books Unread
6) Disconnect cable.
7) After a few seconds reconnect cable, wait a little and tap connect.
8) Update Metadata (such as series, subtitle etc).
9) Eject from Calibre when no jobs running
10) Wait for unread books to update and disconnect cable.
Make sure no AV, Cloud Sync etc.
I've no added menu or patches.
About 7,000 ebooks.
No kepubs, all epub and PDF.
OS is Linux Mint 21.3 with Mate desktop.
I rsync (backup) with all programs that access the backed up files closed, not just Calibre.
I periodically also check Kobo database and backup database.
No issues with Libra, Libra 2 or Elipsa, but they aren't connected so often.
* All Kobos are on 4.38.21908. Most are in SideloadedMode, but two are not. WiFi not on.
I did have an issue ages ago if I connected while an eBook was open.
