You
can do this, but be warned, it has occasionally still resulted in the dreaded "double-cover" at Amazon.

Thanks! I wasn't aware of this. Does this mean that it's pointless to embed a properly referenced cover image in an epub intended for KDP because KDP'll always use the "product image" uploaded in Step 4?

YES, that is exactly what happens.

You are most welcome.

No. I have not tried that yet. It's an idea, but, as I mentioned above, what happens when Amazon supplants the existing cover image in the mobi with the cover uploaded in Step 4, at the KDP?
