Roger, I may be misunderstanding the question and know that you are a fan of LibreOffice (as I am). Are you aware that once you have opened an ODT document in LO you can apply your own styles by going to "Styles and Formatting" (F11) then selecting the drop down on the icon labelled "New Style from Selection" and clicking on "Load Styles" to apply whatever template contains the styles you use for ebooks. This allows you to rapidly change the definition of the standard Paragraph Styles (I haven't used Character Styles much but assume they can also be "overwritten")
I created a template some time ago based on the FB21 format and used that when I was working with FB format books. Once you have the styles in that template it means that you don't need to keep reworking existing though you might need to re-assign a few to meet your needs.
Apologies if I'm "teaching my grandmother to suck eggs" but it took me quite some time to work out how to apply a different set of styles to an existing document.
