So I personally have no issue of obliterating the "drop" by removing the line height and turning it into a large first letter.

I can appreciate however if you wanted to keep them then fair enough you would not want to run this option. What I had more in mind was some of those really nasty pdf scans into rtf which have hundreds of styles (and certainly nothing as fancy as drop-caps!). Maybe this is the wrong solution for that and I should just stick to Sigil regexes.
Usually there is only 1 dropcap style, so how about this idea:
A user configurable count threshold before removal/disabling
