Just my opinion but stripping DRM from purchased books is fine since they are mine but stripping DRM and keeping loans whether from Kobo Plus, Kindle Unlimited, library loans, etc. is not acceptable behaviour since I do not own them.
Other people may disagree but I would suggest not posting about doing so. I agreed with Apprentice Alf wrote quite a few years back.

I'm only using Libby to support the authors, otherwise I'd be using IRC.
Also, as a librarian I know how much libraries are paying for the "privilege" of loaning out ebooks, it's a crime how much they are charging and for how few checkouts are allowed before the ebooks are removed.
p.s. I like to know how the plugins I'm installing work and what to expect. It's not unreasonable to ask if the ebooks downloaded would be removed by the plugin after a certain point. It can be very confusing thinking you had something in your calibre and then not finding it. Plus, if the plugin did remove the ebooks downloaded then I would invest far less time in updating the metadata before adding the ebook to my device.
