It's probably a bad idea to get too far into the book before transferring to Sigil but after a few pages most of your styles are in and you just need to refine them and then apply to the rest of the content. I'm actually re editing from a pdf file created by indesign. The epub from indesign just caused pretty much all the ereader software i have to choke.
I've been using affinity designer to edit the pdf file and transfer to pages. The pdf export from pages is actually pretty good. it's epub which is tricky.

Given that you are starting with PDF, you WILL NEED to A/B compare the PDF to the output. There is NO PROGRAM that can take a novel length PDF and convert it without any errors. The problem is that if errors are found, your readers will be pissed. There's no reason for errors these days.
Pages is too much work to make good looking eBooks that both look good and have good code. So delete Pages and just don't ever use it. It's awful.
