Unless you bought it sometime ago it's now an expensive rental package.

I'd only use it for paper publications that are not simple fiction-novel format. PDF out of my word processor is fine for fiction novels on paper.
I've cleaned up a lot of InDesign ePub and it's not that difficult. So I see no reason why not to export as reflowable ePub. It can then be cleaned up/formatted from there. It's not hard to do.

The problem comes when the publisher exports to ePub and is done.
