How do you target to update a subfolder properties? I've tried your approach and it's always the main folder that's always updating.

Here is the document which has the Internal name of sharepoint fields

FileLeafRef is the name present at the backend which will not be display to end users, and Name is used as a userDisplay name.

Yes , we can update folder name using update folder metadata integration

in the folder path you can specify the path of the folder which you wanted to rename and the meta data you can pass as below

a!toJson(
{
"__metadata": { "type": "SP.Data.DocumentsItem" },
/* ri!newFloderName - new foldername which you would like  to provide*/
"Title": ri!newFolderName,
"FileLeafRef": ri!newFolderName
}
)
