Yes. This plugin should be able to convert KFX files from newer versions of Kindle for PC and from e-ink Kindle devices as long as DRM has been removed first.
There have been some minor changes to KFX format over time but I have been able to keep up with them by using Amazon's Kindle Previewer, which produces a variant of KFX format (KPF) without DFM.

That is not quite true.
First, most books can be obtained in the older MOBI7 and KF8 formats by various means, such as using the Download & Transfer via USB option available to e-ink Kindle owners on Amazon's web site. Those will not have DRM if the publisher has requested that.
Second, although books in KFX format will have DRM in either case, there is actually a difference in the DRM used depending on whether or not the publisher has requested DRM.
In the case where no DRM was requested, the KFX DRM used protects the book against decryption by third-party tools, but does not lock the book to a particular device. This allows the copying of the book between Kindle devices, even those registered to different users.
