1. Downloaded the latest Kindle app (2.3.1 70682).
2. Downloaded the latest Calibre
3. Downloaded the latest DeDRM_Tools from https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/

And that didn't work either.

Is there a link documenting the steps I need to take? Do I need, perhaps, an older version of the Kindle app? I've kept version 1.26 but it didn't manage to login.
Untill someone more knowledgable comes along, it looks to me like you didn't download the latest DRM removal tools (from what you quoted):

The latest version (2.2.x) of Kindle for PC, NoDRM's fork of DeDRM (10.0.9 beta), and KFX Input can now be used! It is also not known how long this method will remain working, so backup your books as soon as possible.
