Was looking at this the other night but didn't have enough skin in the game to reliably blindly-trust external tools to do this for me - I expect that something designed to circumvent encryption is going to come with a very high malware risk.

Any resources/tools/tutorials you'd recommend?

Generally speaking, people use the DeDRM plugin for Calibre. Link omitted for legal reasons.

Is it illegal to charge a URL on your country? You might want to try to share a Google search

Noting that the newer books require additional modules to get around the KFX encryption

Even then I’ve found around 5% don’t decrypt

legal reasons? Seriously, has the DRM mafia cowed people so much? What the hell is wrong with sharing public software tools with others?

Here's one option you might try (no connection to it but it seems to be one of the most recently usable, trustworthy versions) https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools
