Bad idea. Very bad idea.

If you find you need/want to fix up the ePub, then you have a Mobi that's in need of fixing. So the way to fix the Mobi is to convert the ePub to Mobi. So it's just better to start with the ePub and convert from there.

You want an editable source format that is good for all the versions you plan on making. ePub is that source format.
