If the OP is making a commercial product, then, of course, they would need to provide fallback coding for those ancient devices. As you also know, that should not prevent them from using current coding techniques to make their books look as good as possible.

The use of <article> and <section> are ePub3. The new standards should be used as much as possible if for no other reason than to keep them current longer. If those old devices can’t grok the new coding they are required to ignore them gracefully. That means they might have a slightly less-pretty product, but will be able to read it just fine. If the device doesn’t follow the spec, and crashes completely, then it’s time to toss the device… as you know.
With RMSDK on Kobo, <blockquote> works. <q> does not work. However, you can just use quotes instead.

Thing is, Kobo is not old. Just RMSDK is old. So you do have to code for it whenever possible. However, things like <article> and <section> are ignored. Just don't use any classes with these ePub3 specific tags.
