KF8 is basically thinly-disguised epub: there's no "conversion distortion" that I've seen going from one to the other. (But you can't encode periodicals as KF8 at all, which means that almost all my automated Calibre use is generating mobi because it has to.)

Just curious, why do you think the respondents above in this thread did not recommend KF8? Would that solve all of the issues, such as these below:

It does not affect whispersync, but it does indirectly affect the availability of the book covers. There was a recent discussion on this topic, it's a good read: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=321635
Basically, if you consider those three things:
- Syncing of last page read across devices
- Book covers
- Advanced text formatting
Unless your Kindle is still on a fairly old version of the firmware (i.e. lower than 5.8.5), it is not possible to have all three. You can have:
1 and 2 (but not 3) by using the "Old" MOBI format
1 and 3 (but not 2) by using "Both" as the MOBI format, or converting to AZW3
2 and 3 (but not 1) by sideloading your books via USB
