Why worry about
future Amazon formats being indecipherable by calibre, to the point where you refuse to buy the
current formats which ARE decipherable?
The first time you see a book that cannot be downloaded as AZW3, return it -- Amazon gives you 7 days to do so, or you can probably figure something out with Amazon CS.
In fact, I suggest you go the ACS route, so you can tell them what you think of their policy.

Not that I expect it to be a problem, as Amazon still supports the Original Kindle, and I suspect there are at least one or two people who actually use them today.
And KFX may be reverse-engineered... once it becomes sufficiently complex to get your hands on the AZW3 version, and someone decides it is worth it to put in the effort.
Either way,
it is isn't a lifetime commitment.
