EpubToKFXConverter is used by the Previewer to produce KDF files. Despite the name it doesn't appear to be able to actually generate KFX.
That software is complex and may have hidden features. I know that others are looking at it and hopefully someone will report if they find anything interesting.

That is very odd. What is the ASIN of the book? Anyone can get a free sample and see whether it is delivered in KFX format to a device that supports it.
(I assume that you didn't accidentally put "-webkit-hyphens: none" in the css.

Only 4th and 5th generation Fire tablets running Fire OS 5.0.1 or 5.1.1 support enhanced typesetting.
The original PaperWhite does not support enhanced typesetting. The newer models do, but only if they are using firmware 5.6.5 or later. (5.7.2 or later for books containing HTML tables.)
ETA: If you have an iOS or Android device you can get the free Kindle app and try that. The latest versions support enhanced typesetting.
