I was simply wondering if there was a more direct method. Apparently not.

I've successfully tested the stripped ePub method to create a mobi. Now for some fun stuff as I trim that hogwash even more ...
You can create Mobi without making an ePub, but it's going to be more difficult to do so. If you do create ePub, ePub 2 is what you want because Mobi is more simplistic in what it can do and ePub 3 specific features aren't support so there no need for ePub 3.
