Ah, maybe I missed your point.

I thought you meant that one should always MIME-encode in ISO-8859-* charset 
instead of encoding in UTF-8 charset.

Plain, not-MIME-encoded header fields or -values are not usable, that's right, 
for sure. But header values being encoded with e.g.

$ reformime -c utf8 -o 'รค'
=?utf8?B?w6Q=?=

should work well.
