Re-Convert books?

So I have been using Calibre and the various plug-in tools to pull my purchases from my Amazon account and convert them to EPUB for many years. This helped with the great D&T removal crisis of '25 because I already had almost all my book in Calibre.

Anyway, I have noticed a few times over the years that books I had as epubs in my calibre when I loaded them on my Kobo had various formatting issues. Things like margins changing mid chapters to be much wider than they were the paragraph before, various font issues etc. In those times, I usually said screw it and set the Kobo aside and continued on with a Kindle.

I realize the plugin tools and even Calibre itself are always being updated and improved. I am wondering if at some point I should delete all the converted epubs in my Calibre library and then reconvert all the AZW3 into epubs again after making sure Calibre and all the plug-ins are up to date?

PS - and trying to consider going fully Kobo if I cannot properly liberate any future Kindle purchases.
