If KFX can't support this (svg text), then practically can't support anything about svg.
KFX does support a simple image wrapper of the sort described in this post. I have seen code like that used in several professionally published ebooks. Your example book will convert to KFX if you remove the caption from the SVG.

It is true, KFX does not support SVG text. I don't know of a surefire way to have captions that will display with the user's selected font and always be displayed on the same page as an image.

My point is that there is no single best option. There is a tradeoff that a Kindle ebook publisher will need to make between using the full capabilities of SVG and having the features of KFX available to the reader.
