Extra files should be OK as well. Or, at least the "Thumbs.db" in on of the CBZ files isn't breaking anything.

But, there could be a problem with the file names. Calibre will make sure the archive file name is OK for the device. But, it won't touch the internal file names. If these have unsafe characters in them, they might cause problems.
Weeks ago, I accidentally sent a cbz file which consists of a directory and the directory contains images, but my kobo failed to open it. and I deleted the directory and sent it to kobo, it worked again.

As for the "contains only image", I mean it shouldn't contain directory, at least that'w what I do.

Anyway, I read of cbz files, and every cbz only contains images, no extra files or directory, and the names of image should be a list of ordered numbers or something like that. It never goes wrong.
