Yes, some tables should be avoided. But the problem is that if you were to make this eBook in Mobi properly, it would need table images. which to some might be unreadable.
What I don't get is why Amazon created KF8 with advanced features if they were keeping Mobi that doesn't have any advanced features. The problem is that you can do things in KF8 that don't work in Mobi. Amazon should allow eBooks to move on as needed. They already allow things like Kindle-in-Motion to not work on old Kindles.

Dude, there isn't a KF8-only format, other than Print Replica and that's the Format Of Last Resort.
You can do tables in Mobi-KF8. It's not impossible and of course you can create reasonable borders. What you can't do is create foofy borders or anything fancy. And those tables will, by and large, also work in KF7.
The other problem is that if you have very large tables, they'll "turn off" Enhanced Typesetting and you don't want that, either. So...without seeing your tables or knowing more, I can't really advise on "use table" or "use images."
