For my purposes (pre-existing Calibre library), all I really need are annotations and I don't think the Import List plugin would be much help there.

*Marvin stores annotations in a separate table with one row/entry per annotation. It uses the epub file's md5 hash as the "link".
The Annotations plugin had support for fetching annotations from Marvin before it was moved to the MarvinXD plugin. The code is still there, and it can probably be changed to let you select a database file if there is a way to get it from the iPad. Alternatively, the plugin supports reading from other files, if there is a way to export the annotations that is suitable to read. The code has to be written for the format. How hard that is depends on the file format.
