Please, do it. Don't forget to join the @font-face declaration. It makes life easier.

You are right on both points.
FontSquirrel provided me with the web-font of a regular smallcap of LinuxLibertine. I use now the ttf version.
It's true that I selected probably conservatively too many options (accents
bien sūr and others) but I'm OK with the end result. I have other smallcaps about 30k each.
Smallcaps are not widespread.
if you publish using a world-widespread font, it misses smallcaps
if you embed everything, readers may not accept your book
I am trying now a small path in the middle, just embedding smallcaps. I'll see if it's working.
