If I remember the KDP guidelines correctly, Amazon wants us to not use any embedded font for the body text, but to use embedded fonts for headlines and other paragraphs that could profit from individual looks. So it wouldn't really make sense to hide all embedded fonts as a default.
But there's a problem. You cannot use the font of your choice for the body font if you are set to Publisher Font. So embedding any fonts is not a good idea as that will spoil the reader's choice of font.
