For those not knowing, Scribus is a Desktop Publishing program, like Indesign and Affinity Publisher. It's been some years since I last used it, but my impression then was, that it was quite sophisticated software, if somewhat clunky, having a fair share of peculiarities, and with a rather steep learning curve. But it's not badly maintained, nor dead – last version 1.5.8 came out in january 2022 – the development is just s-l-o-w, and always have been in the 19+ years it's been around. AFAIK it does not export to epub.
That said, if the OP doesn't have very specific needs, the use of DTP software for creating an epub or pdf will only complicate his/hers life. There really isn't much you can do in a DPT program, that you can't reproduce in a wordprocessor like LO Writer or Word, if you know your way around your preferred app.
So my recommendation would be LO Writer (with proper use of styles) and import the finished document to Sigil using the ODTImport plugin. You will of course need some knowledge af HTML and CSS to finetune the result.
If you want a PDF, then Writer can save/export directly to that format.
And as always: Just my two pennies' worth …
