If this hypothesis is true (i.e., not sex, not love, but regaining memories of the old times with her being the trigger), then I suppose they just have to do the sex in an extremely brand new or creative way so that it doesn't ring any bell at all in Sensei's head (as if that was possible )
You know, that actually might work if it really is just a mental thing on his side. Albeit, if he recognizes it's Maya from some subconscious memory or finds out afterwards then he's probably fucked.
Of course, it could also be something else triggering the mind break to make them think it's just a mental thing. This world is quite dickish.
Maybe Maya is the one being punished , for what we know she waned to have him all for herself and now is trap in a reality when she sees how everyone but her can and will sleep with him
Overall: Maya being reset might be an inevitability, and not even the first time it's happened. It's hard to see her making it to Chapter 4, especially if something bad actually happens at the end of this chapter.

Hell, chapter 2 ended on a cliffhanger in which Maya would have been reset if not for Akira's interference, so the game has already set up that possibility.
Also, Yasu being Yasu, it's hard to tell if she's channeling a past event or seeing a future one. Or, for that matter, if she's speaking as Maya, Akira, or some other character that has a history on the rooftop that we're unaware of.

Is anywhere a list about the content of the care packs? I tried to search here but only stumbled over multiple pages of "what is a care pack", "this is a care pack" and "my savegames are gone" but no useful hints about whats actually in them. Just want to know if they are worth the download and which i can skip right away.
Mutual masturbation might work as a loop hole to her cosmic curse, but I have a horrible feeling that any sex act (contactless or not) with Maya that can remind Sensei of his old times with her will be lethal; in fact, perhaps sexual activities themselves might not be the trigger.
(similar to Maya's sweetened canned coffee analogy to retrieving Sensei's memories by baby steps; any sexual intercourse is too potent for Sensei's mind to handle)
Saying this is because Maya also constantly reminds us that she can't confess or even admit her love to Sensei or else he dies; however, her love has been leaking out hard in the recent development, and still Sensei remains unscathed.

Remind me why do we all think that Maya's about to be reset? Has there been any other implications for this outside of having to wake her up for that 1 reset? Also, how far away is the next update that will contain a reset, if that's something we know of in advance like a beach update or whatever?

It's mostly the foreshadowing at the end of chapter 2, but there's a few other things as well.
Her whole birthday date was about a brief moment of connection before being separated again, up to and including her story about Altair and Vega. She viewed the return of the true Akira as an indicator that her time was nearly up. That story would definitely imply that they're meant to be ships passing in the night, at least.
As for when the next reset is, we don't get told this in advance. If the pattern holds, the next reset will end chapter 3, and chapters usually end around Christmas.

And there's plenty of implications that this Chapter will end roughly, on top of Maya's specialness not being all that special anymore.
Besides that, Sensei is becoming "happy" and is in love with Maya. If something wanted to hurt him, then Maya is like a flashing neon sign saying "Reset me to hurt Sensei". Sensei may have even foreshadowed something like that:
