Yes, you can, of course, but isn't Indesign the most inappropriate epub designer anyway?
Face it, guys, epub will NEVER be rendered the way InDesign wants it on the existing and future reader platforms. The only way to get InDesign's "design" to work would be if all the reading platforms would have identical rendering engines with, of course, same-sized screens. Otherwise, all of InDesign's tinkering around is worth zilch.
To get the epubs "working" on most platforms in a viable way is to extremely reduce code, not to blow it up extremely. In a real world, even floating pictures are nearly impossible to realise so that they "work" everywhere.
Get a WYSIWYG HTML editor if you do not want to learn HTML code, create a HTML file and get Calibre to make a good epub out of it. That works for heavily illustrated files, too.
