So how to load an EPUB onto the Kindle such that it does show embedded fonts?

Well, hell, if you're me, you just open Kindle Previewer 3 (you can download it from Amazon) and then drag-drop the working ePUB (the one showing you fonts in Kobo) onto it. It will process it and display the result. You can then use File-->Export-->MOBI and side-load the resulting file to your PPW and you should, assuming everything else is according to Hoyle, see your embedded (Publisher) fonts.
FYI, some users' devices are already able to process/accept ePUB files, emailed to the Kindle dedicated email address--what used to be and to some extent, still is--the Document Queue. You could try that first, with your working ePUB.

I don't use KDP at all. Are there any repercussions for putting font-family on the body otherwise? Or will it also interfere with sideloading the EPUB to a Paperwhite?

Well, SSDD--it means that those whom have the ePUB inflicted upon them likely shan't be able to override your font choice. I'm only mostly-cranky--as opposed to terminally cranky--but that can get right up my nose, as a reader. (OR, forced text alignment. It drives me ape**** when someone forces ragged-right!)

Is it better to put font-family on the p tag and h tag then? Or is this just KDP weirdness?

Define "better"? Not being a wiseass, but for what purposes precisely?
