KOReader is fairly straightforward to install on a Kobo and it supports RSS: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/wiki/News-downloader

You don't even have to say goodbye to original firmware, you can just restart into original. Its interface leaves a lot to be desired though.

I'd say KOreader interface is not pretty, but it gets the job done quite well—and certainly with a lot more features & customization than stock.

I don't know, I often find myself having to click random things to find the feature I'm looking for, even having to fall back to DDG a couple of times because I cannot find what I'm looking for.

I just got a Kobo and went with Plato[1] over KOReader and it's been great for my purposes so far. Fewer features, but it has everything I need and performs even better than KOReader (it's written in Rust by the developer of bspwm/sxhkd and isn't carrying as much legacy baggage as KOReader, which has a longer history) with a very straightforward interface. It also has support for hooks, with a Wallabag integration as the example.
