Now you know more or less the pros and cons. Consider them and decide accordingly

I meant that taking the output and tracing it so that you wouldn't have to include the font would defeat the purpose of using the font in the first place, which is to have a single copy of each glyph's outline, rather than a copy of the outline for each instance of the glyph.

You are right, but I guess it's also possible to use the "use" element, which is basically the same (define an element once, use it multiple times). It's not as efficient as a font, but it's more likely to be supported, I'd say. On the other hand, I don't think Inkscape will create this automatically when tracing fonts.

If my epub has a font embedded already (for headings, etc.), and it's the same font that I was using in my SVGs, then does it also need to be embedded in the latter, too? Can the SVG "make use of" the same font that's embedded elsewhere in the same document?

I'd be pretty shocked if it did.

Of course. Just declare it in the CSS that's loaded by the HTML file that contains the SVG code.
