If I put anything else in Calibre it'll demand I auto-convert when I try to USB transfer.
The problem there is that MOBI is a file type where you can't embed the metadata within Calibre unless you convert again which A: causes some margin and image problems and B: in the case of manga, reverts to left to right page flips and reading. On my device, am I missing something in terms of KCC options or is MOBI really the only functional one?
I could assign the right metadata to the CBRs in KCC then generate the MOBIs but doing that on a one-by-one basis is a lot longer than bulk editing metadata and embedding in Calibre, but again, that can't be done on MOBIs without reconverts, which aren't great.

Yes, only MOBI file work. The problem is that calibre refused to support fixed-layout book so conversion in calibre will broke all the formatting. You need to convert with kindlegen.
You could set the output to EPUB, import them to calibre, bulk edit the metadata, and then manually use kindlegen to convert the polished epub, but I don't think that is necessarily easier than doing CBR metadata embedding.
