Not as awful as you think. You can redefine small in CSS. I use Charis SIL and you can extract a small caps version from the full version. So using Charis SIL as the main font and the small caps version for the small caps, it does look pretty nice. Combine that with Calibre's font subsetting and you have a much smaller ePub with a nice font and true small caps.
