If you start with a KF8 (azw3) file, kindleunpack with produce an EPUB that is very close to the original source file supplied to Amazon by the publisher, at least for books that started as an EPUB. You can open that EPUB in Amazon's Kindle Previewer to verify that Enhanced Typesetting is not supported. Using a MOBI (azw) file will produce less accurate results.
Determining the reason for failure can be tricky. Kfxgen does produce some error messages that can give a hint of where to look for the problem, but the Kindle Previewer does not report them to the user. My KFX Output plugin for calibre will expose the error messages produced during KFX conversion, but it also automatically fixes some problems in the source file and so it may or may not be useful in finding the problem with this particular book.
If you want to share the ASIN, I can take a look at the free sample to see if I can find anything in the first 10% of the book that is blocking KFX conversion.
