Correct, there is absolutely no definitive proofing tool for ePub.

The reason ADE is frequently recommended around here as one component in proofing is that it is the 800# Gorilla in the reader market. It is the software engine in most ereaders. If a book doesn't look good in ADE it won't look good on most ereaders in use today.
