I don't have a Kobo, but, AFAIK, Kobos have two different rendering engines (RMSDK/ADE and ACCESS NetFront) and books with a .kepup.epub file extension will be rendered with the ACCESS NetFront epub3 rendering engine whose specs are available online.

I coudn't hurt to convert some of your books with KevinH's epub3 output plugin and test them on a Kobo (after changing the file extension to .kepub.epub).

If the rendering is mostly OK, you could do some research to find out what needs to be changed for Kobo readers and report your findings to the Calibre/Sigil Kepub plugin developers.

If it's only minor cosmetic changes that won't invalidate the epub3, KevinH might even be willing to add a Kobo postprocessing option to his epub3 plugin.
