As far as I can tell from the various reports I've read, Amazon will still supply mobi format ebooks to those older Kindle devices. When I checked, Amazon is now requiring TLS 1.2 or higher for connecting to the store which is not supported by the older devices firmware. This is pretty much mandated by the PCI-DSS
To quote the Amazon email:

Can I still read on my Kindle? Yes. You can still access your existing library from your Kindle, deliver newly purchased or borrowed books to it, or download books from your “Archived Items.”

So you are still going to need to think about those older devices when formatting ebooks.
