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.

Kobalt and Nickeltypefix disable hinting, no? I’m not sure that’s a good thing for typography
