Small caps okay if usage is limited to front matter but don't bother with faking it, just let it default to real caps.

IMO faking small caps is akin to putting plastic hundreds-and-thousands (US nonpareils) on your kid's birthday cake

I have replaced the fake small caps with real ones when there were enough to bother with. If there's not enough, I won't bother.
