Well, apparently it also has these side effects.
Here's a photo of the same book on two devices (a free epub from Feedbooks):

On the one full justify can effectively disabled, on the other it can't.
Wish I had thought of that before, sigh.

(Although sideloading 1500 books at once doesn't seem to be a good idea with the extended driver. So there's that.)
The settings for the epub and kepub renderers override different things. Some are fairly brutal and override everything. Others are overridden at the top-level of the document, and if they are set lower, they won't be overridden. I've never really gone into it. I tend to remove any justification so that "normal" paragraphs don't have it. I will leave it where the style makes it useful. And I don't change it in the settings on the device.

As to the initial load, copying from the Forma is probably the quickest way to do it. After that, you are probably only adding a few books at a time, so it won't be as noticeable.
