Actually I do it all the time.
I have some veeery long series that I'm doing so I have made template epubs that have everything set up - title page, opf, semantics, cover - the works.
All I have to do is import the cover & html, insert the title & ISBN, split & rename the chapters, generate the toc, and I'm done. It takes less than 5 mins from opening the template in Sigil to saving the checked finished product.
The <meta charset="utf-8"> thing has always (well, since it first started happening a couple years back) been a bit of a minor annoyance and complete mystery.
For one-offs the epub export is a more efficient workflow.
