I have a well-defined scope for kepubify. Kepubify (the converter part only) will only:
- Convert epubs to kepubs
- Apply fixes to book-breaking (i.e. book is not readable) CSS and HTML layout which are in multiple books by a publisher
- Remove extra MS/ADE/iBooks/Calibre cruft
- Apply CSS modifications to fix or tweak bugs (see above) or Kepub features (like hyphenation)

.
I don't think I have seen any mention of most of that before. And I don't know what firmware bugs you are fixing. For example, I cannot remember mention of a bug in kepubs that needed the CSS to be inlined to fixed. And what are the other changes? You don't mention anything about them on the kepubify page. Is there a list somewhere of what is done? And how is the custom CSS handled? Added to each stylesheet, as a separate stylesheet or internal to the page? Does the stylesheet inlining do the latter or add stylesheets to each tag?

Some of this I could see by running kepubify with the different options. But, others would need books with those problems to see. But, as the kepubify page doesn't mention some of this, I wouldn't even be looking for it.
