Essentially that's what I'm doing, except I didn't want to go to the trouble of figuring out how to make an OPF file. html2mobi doesn't require one; it allows you to use command-line options to specify much of the metadata that would be in the OPF file.

I probably will at some point make an actual OPF file for my ebook, I'm just not a big fan of separate metadata files. Gives me heartburn.

It is bad form to have two ToCs in an ePub.
I'm not making an ePub, I'm making a MOBI file. And there aren't two TOCs. There's just the one HTML TOC, and a bit of metadata pointing at it so that Kindle apps know how to find it explicitly.
