Is that really true? My cellphone[1] has a DPI slightly above 300, and I can still clearly discern the pixels on the smallest font sizes[2] (Japanese fonts typically use non-anti-aliased fonts for small sizes). While you could probably get away with less _severe_ hinting, I think bad rasterization would be pretty visible.
