There are two parts to this. The first is removal of KFX DRM, which is not an appropriate topic for discussion here on MobileRead.

The second is conversion of non-DRM KFX to a more useful format. I believe that this would be difficult, but doable. I doubt that anyone is going to bother working on that unless the DRM problem is solved first.

For now the best long(-ish) term solution is to avoid KFX by purchasing an older e-ink Kindle device.

There has been some discussion of this issue at Apprentice Harper's GitHub repository:
