Well I know that Sultans had been expected to kill their siblings to prevent civil war. But a surprising many cultures still looked down on killing rival family members. In Ancient China and much of Medieval Europe, it had been more common to just imprison one's relatives instead of killing them.

It's also the reason why I believe anyone who wants to get rid of a vital part of the regime would have to make sure the Kims' direct bloodline dies

No, that's not how it works. If you just want to remove a dynasty you just had to de-legitimise them. That was how the German Royal Family got removed. They didn't die, they just lost their titles. You only needed to kill the dynasty if you want to replace them as king.
Only NK would have wanted and needed the brother dead. Anyone who wanted NK government to change would have prefer the brother around for symbolic transition.
