Converting it in Calibre and sideloading it introduces different errors that I don't feel like fixing since nobody is going to be sideloading it. In Kindle Previewer, they look fine.
Is Kindle Previewer the accurate choice for figuring out what the book will look like when someone actually buys it?

Kindle Previewer is no substitute for an actual Kindle. It does not always display the same as you would see on a Kindle.
If you have errors, it could be due to the ePub having errors. If you are using Sigil or the Calibre editor, use the epubcheck plugins (both have one) to check for errors.
