4. Batch rename the outputted .kepub.epub s into .kepub s (but keep the directory structure)
5. Merge the converted folder into the calibre library one
6. Start calibre again

I would do it this way, as as davidfor said, you can cheat and replace the books. Kepubify is also fastest when converting multiple books all at once. Also, this way needs the least scripting and is pretty simple.
Thank you geek1011! That is exactly what I did and it not only worked like a charm, it was SO FAST! The conversion was quick, copying and merging the libraries - all of it was as seamless as I had hoped. Now, to copy them all to my kobo and enjoy proper page numbers again!

Thank you for your help, I am really looking forward to your plugin when it is ready, but until then, I'll be using kepubify to convert my books.
