So I used the Kindle Previewer to convert the epub, then split it into an azw3 and a mobi using KindleUnpack. I was hoping that I could just send the kf8 format, since the formatting in the kf7 version was a bit off
But XXX.azw3 or the same file renamed as XXX.mobi also were rejected. I don't know if the latter would have been delivered if my friend had a newer Kindle.
The omnibus XXX.mobi containing both formats worked. I'm pretty sure the dumbed down kf7 mobi would also work.
So, no backdoor conversions via email then.

No need to experiment with this - the facts are well-known.
As you've discovered, you cannot email either an ePub or a pure KF8 file to a Kindle. You can send a "dual Mobi" or a MOBI7 file.
