Information/formatting will be lost.

In my experience, no formatting at all is lost. Perhaps the difference is in our standard conversion settings. (?)
One thing I observe which is important: When I make a conversion from one editable format to the other, Calibre
adds classes and various other bits to the HTML but does
not wipe previous classes in the structure. For instance, if I have a class "first-para" to distinguish each first paragraph in a chapter (for styling the usual pseudo-elements), Calibre leaves that class in place but adds (usually) two other classes in addition, partitioning the various CSS rules across these classes by some criteria unknown to me.
When I wipe out the new Calibre stylesheet, all that other stuff gets wiped from the HTML. We are back to my original clean HTML and original CSS from the format that was converted.
