This is true but in addition, for kepubs, you also need to make sure the Panose Weight settings have values the Kobo software will accept. Otherwise, as you already noted for Bookerly normal Italic renders as BoldItalic. This has also proved to be true for some of the Windows fonts I've transferred to various Kobos. So far, fixing the panose has always solved the kepub problem for me.

I don't think the panose info matters if you're only reading standard epubs. There is a post about it somewhere on the Kobo forum. It was probably at least a year ago.
