Mousekeys should work fine, the main problem is that you can't lean on this feature exclusively for keyboard access in your application. If you enable drag-and-drop functionality in your application the right way handle keyboard access is to implement keystrokes to create an equivalent keyboard only experience. If you rely on mouse keys you're not creating an equivalent experience.
