(I don't include a cover in the epub, after an incident when that kept resulting in two coverage images in the published book.)
Actually, most publishers these days create an ePub and use that to generate the Mobi/AZW3. So yes, professionals do use ePub as the source in most cases and that's a fact.

As for the double cover image, there is a way around that. I'd have to experiment to find the exact method to fix things, but you could put in the cover and not specify it for use in the ePub and specify the cover in the guide.
