Why won't it work? because you cannot modify a KFX file to change the CSS.
The CSS goes into the file you submit. Amazon lets it pass through unchanged in this instance.

I ran my own tests using different CSS instructions in combination, because I didn't know which, if any, would work. I managed to turn hyphenation both on and off -- in fact, I was able to turn it on in KF8, on the Kindle Previewer!

At the same time, though, I wrote KDP and asked for their advice on this. They're the ones who singled out the Webkit CSS as the CSS that was effective.

By the way, I do not turn off hyphenation in straight body text. But I do turn it off for headings, verse, and anywhere else it isn't appropriate. And without my even asking about it, KDP mentioned such instances as appropriate uses for these controls. Maybe eventually they'll document it for others, but right now, a lot of things aren't getting shared.
