I would use the words: Avoid doing it .

Look at the code on a book before Calibre, then look after a same format conversion. I'd much rather just touch up the CSS in an editor, than risk side effects.

Yes it works. And usually it creates little to no issues. But the dust bunnies that were created if you are a lean-mean coder will drive you to tears
I save the same format conversion route for those books so corrupt that neither Sigil nor the Calibre-editor can open them. Kovid has some miracle code that brings a book back from the dead pile
