3) Have calibre 'discover' the new kepubs alongside the epubs and add them to each books entry.
As you already have kepubs in the library, you can cheat a little. You could run kepubify against the epub and replace the current kepub. That should work. You could probably use the Open With plugin to run a kepubify. That wouldn't be a great way to do it 3000 books, but it should work for a few to test, or redo the conversion if you changed the epub.

Alternatively, you run kepubify against the epub, and use the calibredb command to add the kepub to the library.

Both methods would need a script to iterate over the library, find the epubs and run the commands needed.

And most importantly, do a backup of the library before starting.
