There are a few things not relevant to ordinary ebooks possible in epub3 and KFX, but almost all ebooks are fine being first in epub2.

KFX should generally be ignored by ebook fiction publishers. It's a thing primarily for Amazon to optimise delivery, "improve" DRM and only secondarily add "features" for specialist books not possible in epub2 or azw3/KF8.
Not possible in ePub2? ADE since 2.0.1 has had kerning and hyphenation. Kobo's have kerning and hyphenation when reading ePub. What's being done with KFX (other then forced DRM) could be done with KF8 if Amazon wanted to do so. It's being done with ePub so no reason it cannot be done with KF8.
