As I've said before, I make many changes (improvements) by doing a simple Modify_ePub and Convert to each ePub file I process, which takes just a few seconds for each ePub.

I've been doing everything automatically (as I described above) for several years and have saved tons of time by not doing all the things you listed manually.
How do you know that your styling and transform settings will actually be compatible with the CSS in the eBook? An eBook created by Word, InDesign, house style, Vellum, Pages, and other programs can have different classes. You would have to tailor your CSS for each different CSS. It's not going to be a catch-all as there is no way you'll know the CSS being used in all your eBooks.
