Are there any potential downsides to running the Polish operation? I tried it on a few books and it seemed to do the trick - the files were updated and CC then synced them with the new metadata. The only downside I can see is that I need to remember to run a Polish after updating the metadata.

I use Moon+ Reader as my reader too and never have any reason to wonder if the metadata in the epub was accurate. I never actually use Moon+ Reader to navigate my books or open them.

You have discovered the only work around to accomplish what you want.
I hadn't thought to use CC as the selector and Moon+ Reader as just a reader, but now that you mention it CC seems very much set up to act as a selector. I prefer having it all in one app but this could also be a potential option.
