But that conversion doesn't honor the settings in Preferences > Conversion > Common options. I have set there (in Look & Feel > Layout) "Remove spacing between paragraphs" and "Indent size" to 1.5 em, but the uploaded books still have spacing between paragraphs and no indent.

If I explicitly convert them to kepub, then the driver uploads that and the books have the spacing between paragraphs removed and the paragraph indented. The Kobo Touch Extended Driver should be doing the same.

Maybe I am doing something wrong...
You're not doing anything wrong but you have misunderstood what this plugin does when creating kepubs from epubs during calibre send-to-device.

A kepub is just an epub with some "kepub bits" added. All this plugin does is add these kepub bits. In other words it's not a full calibre conversion so calibre's conversion options are not used. It's more of a transformation than a conversion.

If you use the 'Kepub Output' plugin to do an epub (or any other format) to kepub conversion into your library, then that is a full calibre conversion and hence the conversion options are used.
