DAISY support - is it possible?
Can Calibre convert DAISY files? If not, are there plans to implement it in the future?

DAISY is a "talking book" format, not a text format. What exactly would you want to convert them into?

Into EPUB & MOBI

This software already does it.

"Using DAISY, a talking book format is presented with enabled navigation within a sequential and hierarchical structure consisting of (marked-up) text synchronized with audio.

what happens if you just run a straight conversion using calibre?

No, calibre does not support DAISY. And note that DAISY has been obsoleted by EPUB 3.

There are still thousands of documents in DAISY that just beg to be converted to something else!
