Yeah, gaps are a major issue with Kobo epubs. There's a way to disable them by setting widows and orphans to 1 in the book css and in the ereader configuration. Also there's a patch named "disable bottom padding in epub" or something similar, and I guess this helps as well.
My biggest beef with Kobo readers is not the way they display epubs, but that they're still somewhat buggy compared to Kindles. For example, my Libra 2 has frozen and rebooted several times (I guess I'll have to do a manual reset, which means starting everything from scratch, so I haven't gotten around to it yet) and the Sage charging cover is also buggy. In comparison, the Oasis 1 charging cover worked perfectly when I had it.
Kobo has very nice devices, but I do wish they'd pay more attention to testing before releasing a new product and to quality control.
