Yes!

Just tried it. Thanks for the idea! If I use Kindle Previewer to create an AZK, then sideload it directly to my iDevice, the hyphen CSS works as expected, so it definitely survives the conversion from epub > AZK (and so does some other formatting that gets lost when going from epub > mobi).

Sadly, this isn't much help to me since Send-to-Kindle doesn't accept AZK, and I need S2K to get WhisperSync. But good to know AZK/KCR supports hyphen CSS.

Yes, old hyphenation system is terrible. But KFX isn't of interest to me as long as I can't crack it open, tweak the formatting to suit my visual impairment needs, and sideload it.

Yes, yes, YES!
