Could you please say this a bit differently? I don’t know what fixed layout contents print replica or text objects means in this context.
But if I understand you correctly, I can still write on PDFs like a notebook if I find the relevant plugins and do all of this in calibre?
And when you say severely crippled, what is it that I will not be able to unless there’s a jailbreak someday? Or someone brilliant figures out a whitelisting?
Thank you again, people like yourself on the internet is a tonic for our times.

Send to Kindle service converts PDF files to Kindle
print replica format. This preserves the visual appearance of the PDF, any text that is in it, and converts PDF bookmarks (named navigation markers) to a table of contents structure. This format is the only one that lets you draw directly on it.
Kindle Create is an authoring tool for creating Print Replica, Comic/Manga, and Reflowable format for publishing on Kindle Direct Publishing.
But it doesn't generate Print Replica directly: it outputs KPF ('kindle publishing format').
KFX Output plugin is able to take a KPF file, feed it to Kindle Previewer, and generate a KFX file. However Kindle Previewer isn't equipped to handle Print Replica (or Comic Book/Manga) KPF features, and so the KPF it generates is flattened.
Of course if you had a second, registered Scribe, you could use Send To Kindle to generate print replica KFX document for it, and copy that off the registered Scribe to side load to the unregistered Scribe.
