You can use an older version of Kindle Previewer that predates KFX. That will show how KF8 and MOBI render on older Kindle devices very accurately.

I use version 2.94 from December 2014. It can be installed without impacting an already installed 3.x version. It can be downloaded from the Internet Archive: Windows or Mac.

Kindle Previewer 3 can export multiple formats. When you use File, Export it defaults to exporting in KPF format but you can change the file type to MOBI or AZK instead in the dialog.

The Kindle Previewer can export a Master MOBI that contains KF8. That will work fine if you don't mind a bit of wasted storage.

The Previewer also includes the kindlegen program that you can run from the command line to create MOBI files.
