I use <i>, <b> and <u> <br/> and <hr/> without classes.
The above alone can get rid of dozens of classes and sometimes reduce the size of an epub by half.
1. I recently reformatted a book for my Kindle that had 4 "font-size: ..." classes just for the basic text. Some were so small that I couldn't read them on the eReader.

Made them all 1em

2. I would prefer to just have <p> for 99% of the text, and only add a class= when needed

3. Same for <Hx> - let the style sheet do all the heavy lifting for the formatting, and only tweak where absolutely needed
