The only caveat: Once I had edited a file's headers, subsequent header edits of that edited file broke the file, so better keep the original, just in case.

BTW, here is a known header list for reference.

This will allow syncing without uploading it to Amazon (where they strip the EBOK CDE type header anyway).
Thanks, I will try that

If side-loading for you means that you push the books over the usb-cable directly from your computer running calibre to the Paperwhite via the "send to device" option, then you can't sync over whispersync feature between Kindles and Kindle apps. Some see side-loading as ANY means to get non-amazon books onto the Kindle.
No, you can sync between devices without uploading to Amazon servers, they sync sending them through the USB
