I'm confused why everyone bemoans iBooks, when everything I try to do works great in that, and it's ADE that's causing me more problems that require utterly absurd solutions, or else have no solution at all (no idea about Kindle... yet). :/

Well, to be fair here, in the specifications of ePUB2 (which is what we are talking about here) a subset of CSS2.0/CSS2.1 is supported. Word-wrap is a CSS3 property, so that should not be supported anyway.
The other two, letter-spacing and word-spacing, are not in the specifications either. They are not part of the subset that should be supported. So, actually it is not the fault of ADE, but more that iBooks is supporting thing that are not in the standard.
Small-caps is a totally other question. That is a real issue/fault and not true for all (but most...) readers. They can be emulated though. The best results are obtained by embedding a smallcaps font. IIRC it is the problem that fonts on the reader don't have smallcaps in it.
