(Note: I'm pretty new at this)
Errors are Red
Warnings are Yellow

Calibre and Sigil views tolerate too much that devices won't.
So if it is renders bad in Sigil, there is a good chance it will be worse on some dvices.

IMHO software emulation (what runs on a PC) is not a substitute for a real device acid test. Be sure to test on older models as well as the current ones.
Of course, if you are only selling to a single brand outlet (eg Amazon, Apple), their rules prevail .
