I agree that the existing python2 plugins don't work. For example DeDRM
6.8.1 errors out with python 2 print statement instead of the python3
print() statement.
The DeDRM built for python3 fails to install on Calibre 4.23 with an error
that the plugin requires  a version of Calibrer >= 5.0.0.

I'll give Calibre 5.0.0 a try as suggested by Patrick O'Callaghan.
