Personally I prefer the Sigil editor much more than the Calibre editor, but YMMV. Although there is beauty in handcraft, that is how I started as well, the automatic creation of the opf and ncx are a very useful part of the editors. As you can open and tinker with those files as well in the editors, you can still learn a lot.
You can also use GIF, PNG and SVG. All readers *should* support that, but be aware that not all the options of SVG are supported, nor are animated GIF.

Yes, I presume that would be a good way to go; to manually (or hand-)prune the file to the bare basics.
Although generating some of the files is pretty easy, as most of the data is just copy/paste, and modify a few parameters.
My only concern at the moment would be the compression of the text.
I like a very good compression agent to compress the file very small, yet also not compress the mimetype.
And that's a problem with most ZIP/RAR/7Z compressors as they would also compress this file.
