What is the distinction between that and a rule/fleuron, which your original post specifically called out as inappropriate?

It is a lessened hr rule in being shorter and a lighter colour. It became clear that there was actually no way to make this space accessible without using an hr rule, so I styled it so as to be acceptable to me aesthetically, and it turned out to be better than I expected.
The print book of course simply uses a 3-line space, and I hadn't thought of doing it differently for the EPUB until it dawned on me that a 3-line space on an ereader would be indistinguishable from any old space that ereaders may shove in (so I have made widows and orphans 1 also).
It is pointless clinging to the usual method of putting a margin on a p tag if it is simply not going to be accessible. So I changed my mind and worked with it to my satisfaction.
