I want to know if I purchase an epub that specifies a non-embedded monospace font, the monospaced font will be used (with no modifications needed).
Short answer - there will always be some kind of modification needed. The mere presence of a sideloaded font is not enough. You also have to tell the epub/kepub exactly where/how to find it.

Patching firmware isn't compulsory but if you don't, simple edits to each epub will be necessary instead - either manually or via calibre.
