I haven't tried Literata, but I don't think there is any disadvantage to using TTF, and there are two advantages:
1. In ePubs, the
patch to enable TypeGenius for sideloaded fonts only works with TTF fonts.
2. in KePubs, kerning only works with TTF fonts that have 'old style' kerning tables.
If you use a program like fontforge to convert to TTF, enable 'old style' kerning tables, and remove hinting then you should have the ideal font format for Kobo e-ink devices.
