I think you really need to check what the applications are in detail.
UTF-8 costs about 35% more storage for Japanese, and even more for
Chinese, than does UTF-16.  So if you might be using a lot of Asian
localized strings, it might even be worth implementing PEP-393 to get
the best of both worlds for most strings.
