it may not have been classic kimchi but pickling dates way further back than the 17th century, considering the brine could be reused. Just because of "logistics" doesn't really mean much because people had to survive and I'll tell you even if certain spices couldn't be used people would eat, and dishes created were to emulate what they ate but in a more replicable fashion. Again the emphasis of seasonality is most brought out in ancient cooking.
