If you are comfortable using xproc, a *very* robust solution is this:
https://transpect.github.io/We use this for roundtripping among docx/indesign/html/xml since years (we
have converted 10^5+ pages from docx/idml/xml) and we are *very* happy.
The idea is to use a central format (hubxml, wich is docbook + css
attributes) to convert to/from.
The docx 2hub module is quite easy to configure and run and gives you a
flat docbook you can further transform (i.e to add sectioning, semantic
tagging, cleaning, etc.) via the evolvehub module.
For a complete list of the modules see here
