I started out reading that thread, and now I'm here. If that link is placed in error, perhaps someone should contact the creators of DeDRM to have the link removed?
That link is correct. The first post of that thread has the instructions for handling KFX format in calibre.

Since you don't want to make changes to your Kindle for Mac installation (methods 1 & 2) and apparently don't own a Kindle e-reader (method 3) then you are left with method 4: using the KFX Input plugin.

See the thread for that plugin for instructions. calibre does not handle import or conversion from KFX format unless that plugin is installed.
