Depends on your targeted device. A few were notorious for barfing with shorthand.

Is it worth the effort to make your book work on every possible device?
OSFN (one size fits none)

If you get fancy, you need to customize styles for those device outliers

BTW many of the books in my Library have (prettified) stylesheets of under 300 lines. I use mostly shorthand for Margin. the others like Border I do longhand . Oh! I only do EPUB 2 for use on my ancient Astak and conversion to AAZW3 for my K4NT
