Sigil/Calibre are preferred methods of creating epub? I imagined I would do it manually but I am hearing that it isn't necessary.
In my html I can forget semantics and leaness. I just want simple functional markup for layout.

Not to step on Doitsu's excellent response, but it isn't "much preferred" to upload an epub. It's simply a workable way to do it, with many benefits for the uploader.
I would urge you to settle on Sigil. It's meant for the one purpose -- building an epub -- and does it wonderfully well.
And with respect to your third point, Sigil's additional tools can be very useful. I'm all for simplicity and letting the defaults rule, but neither would I rule out the semantics tool, nor the metadata tool, nor the TOC tools.
