Deleting the contents of "My Kindle Content" is recommended so that there are no left over books in KFX format on your PC.
You could try just deleting the subfolders of "My Kindle Content". Those contain the books downloaded while Kindle for PC 1.19 was installed. I cannot say how well this will work as I have not tried it.

I doubt that support for the KFX format is coming any time soon to calibre. As far as I know, no one is currently working on it. (Of course the illegality of trafficking in DRM removal tools in the US means that work may be going on in secret.)
Many of us who do most of their reading in the Kindle ecosystem own e-ink Kindle reading devices. Owners of these devices are still able to download books in Amazon's older formats via the website. Used older Kindle devices can be purchased fairly inexpensively by those who also wish to have this ability. Having this simple workaround reduces the incentive for developers to invest the time and energy needed to support the newer format.
