The long answer: No


The what and why-for(s):

This Jailbreak is actually "unlocking" the ability of the built-in Amazon installer to install our packages.

The update_*.bin packages (from both Amazon and Mobileread) are "model locked" and "cryptographically signed".
This jb adds the MR signature certificate to the collection of Amazon certificates.

For any project that requires command line access to the full system image tree of the Amazon install (yours does) this jb allows you to add all the tools that are related to that.

So yes, you will still need this jb installed - both during your development of an Android Port to the Kindle and during its installation.
But for the installation and use of installation supporting tools.

This is not the first time the subject of Android on the Grayscale Kindles has come up.

Note: The COLOR display Kindles ARE Android.
