Personally, I would avoid SVG images when publishing on Amazon for Kindle. The main reflowable Kindle formats each handle SVG differently.
MOBI does not support SVG at all, so for the oldest Kindles the images will be missing unless media queries are used to provide a rasterized image fallback.
KF8 handles SVG fairly well as far as I know. There may be limitations due to the KF8 renderer being essentially frozen for the last ten years.
KFX, which is the format most readers will experience, only does so-so with SVG. During conversion to KFX format SVG images are rasterized and converted to JPEG. So the rendering of detail you would expect from SVG is lost. This is especially noticeable in a zoomed-in image. Also, the conversion does not take into account the fonts present in the book so if the SVG image includes text only generic fonts will be used.
