It looks like there's still some mtp stuff potentially causing problems?

How did you install calibre?  From the website directly or via apt?
Depending on the version of Debian you are using, the calibre from apt
may be more than good enough.  The version on Debian 12 (Buster? 
Bullseye?  I cannot remember) is quite recent.

Alternatively, you could post on the mobilread.com forum devoted to all
things calibre: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=166
It's a very helpful community, I have found.
