Both of those issues are what prompt me to do a conversion in the first place. Calibre (usually) has the smarts to split the xhtml in logical places (such as chapters), and I prefer calibres style numbering over inline styles any day.
How many files did you try?? The Unpacker only provides the basic formatting that was there in the first place - it doesn't create it that way. If only one out of 10 of your source files has those issues then the unpacker has saved you 90% of the work...you'd only have to "convert" those files that have that intolerably bad formatting to begin with...

edit:
and the "Single large monolithic xhtml file" is usually a mobi issue...not a azw3 issue...but I already mentioned that it had some improvements I would like to see when unpacking that ancient format.
