When already using ADB to identify the device, why not also make it reboot automatically into Download-Mode and make it completely independent from User Input?

It can be that this device cannot reboot into download mode properly. We had cases where recovery simply cannot do it. You can try yourself maybe and report back :)

The device maintainer needs to adjust the installer config to use adb reboot instructions with an user action as fallback.

right now it only consists of an user action: https://github.com/ubports/installer-configs/blob/master/v2/devices/herolte.yml#L56
