Well that depends as only you can decide what is 'easier'.

Are you planning to:
  • Convert your epub to kepub in calibre and store both formats in the library. You've always expressed a dislike for unnecessary conversions.
  • Hand edit every kepub CSS. Neither calibre Editor nor 'Unpack book' will open .kepub so you'll have to use another method.
  • Use calibre send-to-device for transfer.

The way I suggested was:
  • Create/edit existing kobo_extra.css (in Kobo root dir) once then forget about it. The addition I suggested will not interfere with your standard epubs if you plan to read a mix of epub and kepub.
  • Use KoboTouchExtended driver with both 'Modify CSS' and 'Enable Extended Kobo features' checked to format-shift epub to kepub and scale up the font-size during send-to-device. Your calibre library remains uncluttered with kepubs and your master epub remains suitable for both Kobo and any other epub reading app you use.

The choice is yours
