On 650 & T1, I can use CSS code to access the fonts installed on the Readers without having to embed them in the eBooks. Can I do this on a Kobo Reader using firmware 3.8.0?

Yes, you can. This is what I use for small-caps in the kobo_extra.css file used by calibre's KOBOTOUCH driver's 'Modify CSS' option
Code:
@font-face {font-family: "SCfont"; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; src: url("res:///fonts/normal/Charis SIL SmCp")}
@font-face {font-family: "SCfont"; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; src: url("res:///fonts/bold/Charis SIL SmCp")}
@font-face {font-family: "SCfont"; font-weight: normal; font-style: italic; src: url("res:///fonts/italic/Charis SIL SmCp")}
@font-face {font-family: "SCfont"; font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; src: url("res:///fonts/bolditalic/Charis SIL SmCp")}
My label "SCfont" can be anything you like as long as it matches what you've used in the epub's main css file.
The
Charis SIL SmCp must match the font's internal and external name.
