I could jailbreak these devices and treat them like "other devices" in the list, i.e. simply use the "document style" KUAL-KDK-2.0.azw2 file in the document folder without even starting MRPI for this reason. It starts without any problems. The same ist true, btw, for the Vlasovsoft tools etc., they also may be launched alternatively via their respective *.azw2 document.
But of course you may also use the MRPI method. This has a big advantage: You not only have all your hacks in one neat interface  - but you can additionally rename the *.kual "document" (empty file, any name possible, just the extension ".kual" matters) to whatever you like. In my case I used " (1) KUAL (Kindle Unified App Launcher).kual" that brings this on top of the alphabetically sorted document list.

Then you have discovered a firmware specific (version & build) variation.
Amazon policy on the 8th. generation devices was to ship without active document support.
And my KT3 (still on its original 5.8.5) is consistent with that policy.
BUT - -
It is only a single enable/disable flag in the firmware, it may be getting overlooked in some builds.
It is not like they removed all of the code.
And it was still disabled in 5.8.8 (by inspection, not by test execution), if you are running something different ....
