The Calibre <format> OUTPUT probably implies a rebuild so I don't think it would be good for testing purposes. I know I could use Calibre but that would kill the initial purpose of not using it in my toolchain

Toolchain or not, all it takes is resending the book, since that particular option involves metadata which calibre updates during send-to-device.
Note: Conversion settings are cached per book record, Bulk Edit Metadata has an option to clear it.

The MOBI editor shouldn't work. I'm not having any problems with mobi files, in fact I'm getting them perfectly with a cover. The ones that didn't work are the azw3/KF8 ones.

JMME works on both MOBI and AZW3 -- they use the same binary wrapper.

You could also investigate the code calibre/Quality Check uses and incorporate that into a standalone utility for the sake of your toolchain.
Regardless -- any of these solutions will allow you to embed an ASIN in the exth 113 field, at which point you will have very predictable thumbnail files that you yourself will have to add.
