The KDP does a brilliant job with epubs.
You will of course have validated the epub by running Flight Crew or whatever it's called, and also by uploading it to epubcheck online. The latter is important if you plan to publish on Apple iBookstore, not so vital for Amazon, B&N, and Kobo.

1) I wonder how you change the css file used for epub by the mobi/kf8 one. If you don't do the change, you probably limit your common css to be compatible with the 3 formats (the old mobi supported css indeed)
2) It can happen that the uploaded epub, validated by Flight Crew, fail in KDP giving you enigmatic error messages. Kinlegen will give you more precise.
You should have a look (again) at the thread:
UNABLE TO UPLOAD Validated epub File to Amazon
I personnaly prefer to run my flow step by step and validate the end of each step before starting the next.
