Not to be obscenely lazy, but at that point, I say to myself, "Self, what typeface can I use, instead of this, that already has a smallcaps font?," and that's what I use.

That's what I would use too if font-variant was supported. But clearly span class is supported and embedding on some devices. So a span class small caps subset font works, especially if mapped to upper case characters, because if embedded fonts aren't picked up it just falls back to full caps rather than lower-case, which would be bad for BC/BCE etc.
