Then by all means reformat your personal copies the way you prefer. Don't let other's force their choices on you.
It is true, though, that most prefer an indent with no extra line spacing on both print books and on ebooks read on modern high quality displays. If you were creating books for wide distribution I would lobby you to reconsider, but since you seem to be merely creating personal editions I would suggest that you stick to your guns and reformat however you prefer.

Is there somewhere where I can see the exact listing on an EPUB that I like that tells me font, font size, spacing, line height, etc ?

Depending on how well the ePub has been created, you can easily see the formatting by opening a copy of the ePub and viewing the CSS stylesheet and/or the (x)HTML components' internal style sections. The easiest way to do this is to open them in Sigil, a free ePub editor that is well supported on this forum. Another method is to change the extension of the copy to .zip, and then extract the individual files in the ZIP archive. The CSS and (x)HTML files can then be opened in a text editor for examination.
You could also use calibre's Tweak Book function to expand the ePub to allow access to the individual components. If you are new to this, be very careful using this method as you are working on your original file and not a expendable copy.
