It appears that a solution for this has been found for the PC app. It is not yet known whether it can also be applied to Kindle for Mac.

Kindle for PC/Mac 1.25 and e-ink Kindle firmware 5.10.2 and later also include a new DRM scheme for books in KFX format. Even if the main key can be recovered from .kinf2018 files the question still remains of how to use it to decode the new KFX DRM. No one has reported any progress on this as far as I know.
Thanks for updating us with the current position
