Excluding owners of only 4-year-old e-reader devices from the target audience is not something I'm ready to do, unless explicitly prompted to do so by the client. Why, I still use iPad 1, purchased in the summer of 2010, on an everyday basis (for secondary purposes) – I'd be upset if someone told me I'd be unable to open certain e-books on that device.

KindleGen creates both versions but of course the older KF7 may look quite a bit different from the KF8 version even when the source is ePub 2. I am not aware of any good way to make KF8 and KF7 look the same and do anything other that simple text. Sometimes you can have fallbacks in the CSS to help with this but even then it is problematic. I am not suggesting that you release only KF8 but people using these early devices can't expect fancy formatting anyway.
