kepub is not preprocessed. It's still text readable unlike KFX. ePub is processed on the fly and does what KFX does in terms of typesetting. Since ePub can do it with the renderer, there's no reason KF8 cannot do the same thing. That's why there is no need for KFX. What does KFX do in terms of features that cannot be done with KF8 and the renderer (if it was written to do it)?
