Depends on the book. The simpler the formatting, the fewer changes there are.
The most visible examples of trashed formatting are blockquotes and sections with special left and right margins - letters, diary excerpts, newspaper articles and so on. Mobi doesn't do the right margin, only the left, so all those parts with specified symmetrical margins only retain the left one and will look like they've been pushed to the right. Looks very ugly IMO, but then again, I'm sure lots of people wouldn't be bothered.
If it were the simplest option to get rid of embedded fonts, then yes. But it isn't, especially for a Kobo device. Converting to kepub will get rid of them just as well and retain the epub formatting. Converting from epub to epub while checking the fonts option in the conversion settings is also better than converting to mobi.
