Supposedly. You'd need to try it yourself to be absolutely sure. On my own Kobos I've sideloaded a copy of
Courier Prime which I'd previously used a font editor to change its internal font name to simply
Courier. That definitely works, but I never bothered to check whether the font editor renaming was actually superfluous.

Haven't we both just said the same thing? IOW if you want to use a monospace font in a kepub, since fw 4.32 there are no fancy tricks remaining which avoid you having to physically embed the font.
More generally (
unless I've missed something) no sideloaded font can be referenced from within a kepub except when you choose your main font from the [Aa] menu.
As an aside, no specific action is required for the generic
font-family:sans-serif; to work for both epub and kepub. Both will use the built-in system font Avenir.
