No, MTP is almost irrelevant. AFAIK Kindle doesn't have the database accessible on the user partition of Scribe when it used mass storage (or any current Kindle) which is why Calibre can't do series and collections on the Kindles. MTP is not a format, but a protocol. It has advantages and disadvantages. It was invented by MS, possibly to aid DRM on the Zune. Android adopted it at maybe Version 4.0. It was an enhancement of Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). We don't know exactly why Amazon changed the Scribe from Mass Storage to MTP. It could be for future extra control, or larger partitions.
Also 4.34.x or 4.35.20400 on Forma should be OK, and not everyone has issues with database corruption. I've not had the problem, thought there is one. Supposedly the next FW will fix the SQLight Database being left open (and MTP would not much help that).

There are multiple partitions on Kindle and Kobo and only one is accessible via USB.
