Yes, sorry.  See the doc string of read-key:

Also in contrast to `read-event', input method text conversion
will be disabled while the key sequence is read, so that
character input events will always be generated for keyboard
input.

INHERIT-INPUT-METHOD only affects Emacs input methods, yes.

There could be, but it would entail calling read-char rather than
read-event, or introducing a new parameter to read-event.  I'm not sure
the former is any more correct than calling read-key.

I think an informed conclusion would be easier to draw if you directed
me to previous occasions where issues arose from switching from read-key
to read-event in similar contexts.
