Do I have that all right?

Yep that’s it basically. If you want the new font options (and hyphenation support -> hyphenate epub before renaming to txt) then you will have to rely on the format KF8 which was built to draw its cover from Amazon servers (which it cannot do for lack of identifier in your personal document files). If you want covers you will have to use the older mobi format whose engine has not been updated with the new font options.
In general, I was hoping that Amazon would silently convert all personal documents to kfx before delivery, but it never came to that (a CS rep told me in an email once that they would do that, but alas...) If you want ALL the goods, write emails to Amazon asking for proper modern format support for your personal documents and hope that they will eventually come around. Nothing else to be done.
