How to normalize smart quotes and apostrophes for Kindle?

$

It's nearly 2023 and Amazon Kindle still does a shite job of rendering Unicode smart quotes and smart apostrophes. Normally when this happens, I edit the reflowable ePUB with the Sigil application, performing four Find & Replace All in all HTML file operations, one for each type of smart quote / apostrophe.

Is there an automated way to accomplish this directly in Calibre? Perhaps an option within the ePUB conversion default configuration, so that converting MOBI -> ePUB or ePUB -> ePUB results in books with strictly ASCII double quotes (") and apostrophes (')?

I already have Kindle Paperwhite set as the default target, but evidently that option is not aggressively ensuring that ebooks are formatted for consumption by Kindles.
