I believe that how a book renders as AZK/KCR is no longer relevant unless the book will not be supporting Enhanced Typesetting, such as a fixed layout children's book.

Most books will support ET and Amazon will deliver them in KFX format to the K4iOS app when actually published. (Perhaps a few customers still have iOS devices that only run a very outdated version of the app, but I doubt that there are very many of those left.)

I do occasionally want to see how a book will look under K4iOS, not because I am publishing, but because I want to understand how the Kindle platform works. I use my KFX Output calibre plugin in CLI mode to convert from EPUB to KFX and sideload that via iTunes. (Using the CLI mode of the plugin avoids manipulation of the book by calibre's conversion pipeline.)
