Is there something I need to do in order to successfully run 1.23.1 (or 1.17!) on this Mac? ...

What's the exact error message you're getting?
Kindle for Mac 1.23.1 should run on High Sierra without having to do anything extra or special.
The 64-bit requirement is only an issue if you're running Catalina (10.15), which hasn't been released yet except in beta. High Sierra (10.13) and Mojave (10.14) can still run 32-bit apps.
That said, if you're trying to avoid KFX, then you need to run chmod -x per Method 2 in the first post. If you already tried that and now 1.23.1 won't launch, something may have gone wrong with the chmod command. Or something may have gotten corrupted when you upgraded to High Sierra.
You might try deleting the Kindle folder in Users > Home > Library > Application >
Kindle. Also look for Users > Home > Library > Containers >
com.amazon.Kindle and delete that folder if it's there. Then re-install 1.23.1.
