In this thread, geek1011 mentioned having added ”a few unobtrusive features (like CSS addition and text replacement), and made seriesmeta.” I don't know what ask of these featuress do, but they surely are good stuff to have, right? If so, does KoboTouchExtended do these things too?
KTE doesn't do everything. It is around 12x slower (partly due to Calibre, and partly due to KTE). Inherently, KTE also adds the extra calibre classes and metadata, but that's a matter of personal preference. Calibre can do some of the extra data cleanup with the Modify EPUB plugin. Last time I checked, KTE doesn't work from the command line. Note that I made kepubify mainly to address the inherent limitations of KTE and Calibre.

Seriesmeta adds series info to the Kobo DB. KTE does this automatically for books managed by Calibre, but not ones loaded separately. Both can be used together without issues.
