I might have a couple of programming type text books, but, I can't think of any other book having monospace fonts. Except completely artificial test books.
The eBook Planetfall by Emma Newman does have some fair use of monospace for text messages. There is no embedded font. So as ePub, given a have a font named Courier, it will display. But in KePub, it's going to display what should be monospace in a tiny font size in Georgia. So this is more an issue then just ignoring monospace if the eBook is in KePub.

If you want, I can show a screen cap of the monospace problem with KePub.
