I bought my Boox T68 for the same reasons you did. I've been very satisfied.

I didn’t mind buying the keyboard but the problem was that every time I put down the tablet for say, 30 mins, it would loose the bluetooth connection.
I don't know that I'd call the need for a BT keyboard a deficiency. As far as dropping the connection, are you sure it's the tablet and not the KB? Also, I'd try the Google keyboard. It has a swipe mode which works very well on my Boox T68.

This kind of major annoyances happened regularly, I’d say about once every 30 mins at least.
This is certainly something I would complain about and probably return it. I can't see Onyx not taking it back for that reason.

I can’t even reset the device to factory settings, because you can’t do that using only physical buttons on the device.
I'd try a factory reset like CoronarJunkee advises. And I wouldn't calibrate the pen in landscape mode again
