Mobi, aka KF7 doesn't do much in the way of fonts. Serif, Sans, Monospace. Each in normal, italic, bold and bold italic. Also option of underline. The exact version of each these depends on the model. I've not had a problem using any arbitrary fonts in epu2 from docx and then the Amazon conversion to KF7 except with Monospace. It needs Monospace in the name.

Forget media queries. Do a decent epub2 with embedded fonts and upload that to Amazon KDP. They know what Kindle people have. Check mobi KF7 on a KK2, DX, DXG or earlier. A KK3 does also do KF8 if it was ever upgraded, if you pick Publisher Fonts.

Only Smashwords needs a dual mobi as well as epub2 (convert in Calibre).

Any ebook should still be readable just with basic Serif, Sans, Monospace. Each in normal, italic, bold and bold italic.

Use docx import to Calibre (or Sigil) but odt for edit/save if using LO Writer (never edit the docx only an extra save as).
