I can't find anywhere any indication whatsoever that it should be "bad" to style <Hx>-elements with css or having to hide them. But I can find tons of examples of what to do with them in css …
And I know, that an empty Hx tag would be real bad for search engine optimization, if it occured on a "real" webpage. In an epub, it will pass epubcheck, but ACE will generate an error "Element does not have text that is visible to screen readers …"
Just my 2 ¢ thoughts …

If heading elements in HTML are structural, and meant to be used for that purpose, then, yes, using them merely for styling in a non-structural way would be "bad." We haven't really pierced the semantic web yet, in eReaders, but we are certainly getting there from here, and to screw up the hierarchal layout, just to avoid using proper css with paragraph styles, etc., seems...contraindicated.
Offered FWIW.
