Unless this has changed in the latest firmware, the Kobo devices respect the line-height in the epub. I did some tests on this last year with different line-height values. From memory I started with 0.1 and it seemed to do what what was expected.

I don't mind the minimum that Kobo uses, but I think they should have allowed a minimum of 1. The annoying thing is that they actually allow a minimum of 1.225 (from memory) but you have to edit the conf file to set this.
As previously mentioned, I am truly a novice when it comes to HTML and CSS editing. Everything I have learned has been self-taught through trial and error thanks to Sigil and Calibre. Now that I know that Kobo's firmware behaves differently I am hoping to learn to recognize and fix the line spacing once as opposed to three or four attempts before getting it right. It is a major pain to have to do this for every side-loaded ePub.

And I, too, have found changing the line height value is indeed recognized.

P.S. I'm a she, not a he.
