But you still have to keep in mind fallback code for very old Kindle devices that only read the original MOBI format (like the Kindle DX).

Sadly, Kindle Previewer 3 doesn't show these ol' devices in the dropdown anymore. You'd need to run an old version of Kindle Previewer 2 (or have a very old device on hand).
To this day, when we create eBooks with Kanji, (Juas as when we use Cambria Math, for that matter), we create two 'sets' of books for KDP. The KF8-KFX version, which uses the embedded fonts and the KF7-ish version, which instead uses images, managed with media-queries.

There really isn't a choice, at this point in time. You cannot upload a book at Amazon that says "Hey, I'm kF8/KFX only, don't sell me to people with Kindle Keyboards," so...you have to take the longer view.

(n.b.: well, you could upload a book that says KF8/KFX only, by using fixed-layout but we don't do that for all the obvious reasons.)
