Nevertheless, unless they have other ways to make kepubs work fine, (methods which we do not know), this is "serious" trouble for Kobo. I mean, at least in common epubs, every time you have a new html file you have a page jump. Because of that if you want a new chapter BUT you don't want a page jump, you need using the structure I've told where each file has several chapters in it.

Maybe Kobo can avoid that structure with some kind of untold trick, or they can make that structure work with some kind of untold setting. But it doesn't look really promising, although as you say we must be cautious.
Sorry, but you missed PeterT's point. A kepub is not an epub. It might look like an epub, and appears to share a lot of the specs. But, Kobo define those specs. Unfortunately, they haven't published those specs, or at least nowhere that I have seen them. The specs might be that there is a one-to-one relationship between TOC entries and files. We don't know. The conversion that we have is based on guesses made when looking at DRM free kepubs from the Kobo shop.
