If I had to pick one, I'd definitely pick the old converter.

writer2xhtml can create directly
quite clean Epub2 or 3 without any inline style if you select carefully its -little convoluted- configuration options. The source odt is expected to be written using styles that
writer2xhtml obviously cannot invent on behalf of the user.
I opened the source docx file with LO6 and converted it to odt format. Then I used
odtImport (a Sigil plugin) to export directly an Epub3. In the joint zip file you'll find the odt and the Epub3.
I only batch renamed the html files to xhtml.
Everything else is straight from the converter. Epubcheck reports a missing image .
writer2xhtml displays all four images because there are
two green dots which are the same image, which it displays with different relative settings.
This version of
writer2xhtml is an alpha version 1.6. compiled by Doitsu from the source repository.
Edit: for reasons I fail to explain, the odt file has a 4.3 MB size but the resulting Epub has a 32 k size...
