It can be. It's needed on some Kindle firmware versions. I don't if all Kindle firmware versions need hinting. But there was one firmware version were Amazon used a version of Bookerly without hinting and it was noticeable that the font was not displaying correctly.
I've found in cases where you don't need hinting, having hinting makes no difference. But with all of these new mods coming out for Kobo, it's better to have hinting to be sure your font will properly display.
