I haven't really tried with ADE, but I believe it is only the glyph variants (the long-s, in this case) that you have to hardcode. The historical (or discretionary) ligatures are probably not usable as such, but you can always (if the font license permits that) define these ligatures as standard ones, and then they'll be displayed by ADE (as far as I know).
I'm still dreaming of that day when we can use OpenType features (which includes historical glyphs and ligatures, but also real smallcaps, swash forms, super- and subscripts, old-style figures, etc.) in our ebooks.
