I will verify using calibre to copy it to my Paperwhite 5 does result in having a cover thumbnail.
I do not get thumbnail on Scribe, using calibre to send the plugin created Print Replica KFX book (as I expected, since calibre does not send thumbnails to Scribe). On Paperwhite, yes.

And while calibre will not copy a thumbnail over to Scribe, after sending the plugin-created PR KFX, I can manually add the appropriately named .jpg to /system/thumbnails and the thumbnail image displays on Scribe.

But there's something different about the PR KFX generated by Send to Kindle and downloaded. Even if I import those to calibre (which adds ASIN metadata), and delete them from my Kindle library, I cannot get cover image to work when side loading these (to either Scribe or PW5). Some other property takes precedence when it looks for a matching thumbnail.
