I thought Calibre was not behaving as described bu it was just ignorance about how CSS files worked on my part. Unfortunately until I retire next year I have only limited time to spend acquiring such knowledge.
CSS is fairly easy, when you think of it as moving all that long (repetitive) styling to a common place (the stylesheet) and using a shortname instead
The green, is my explanation and not to be included in a CSS as is.
Different calibre numbers may assigned for each conversion AND you can still use your own names in edits. Use a name (selector) i a document, then it should be in some linked CSS.

Code:
Make the first paragraph (used as a Sub title) after any H2: italic
h2 + p {
	font-style: italic;
	}
The standard document (body) style. You could change the name to body if there were no bony variants needed
.calibre {
    display: block;
    font-size: 1.2em;
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-left: 2pt;
    margin-right: 16pt;
    margin-top: 0;
    padding-left: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
    page-break-before: always
    }
The standard NON-indented Paragraph style
.calibre2 {
    display: block;
    margin-bottom: 0.5em;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-top: 0.5em;
    text-align: justify;
    text-indent: 0
    }
The standard indented Paragraph style
.calibre3 {
    display: block;
    margin-bottom: 0.5em;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-top: 0.5em;
    text-align: justify;
    text-indent: 2em
    }

The advantage of this, 1 change in a CSS fixes all the usage
