For an interesting take on "modernizing" vintage books, you might take a look at Standard Ebooks Manual of Style ---https://standardebooks.org/manual/1.7.0

I must confess, I have adopted many of their suggestions, and have not tried to replicate the Print Version for a very long time.
I do say that Standard Ebooks styling is overly complicated for such simply formatted eBooks. They much such a mess. I would ignore their style guide. You can make an eBook much simply formatted by using the time honored make it as simple as possible. Standard Ebooks does the opposite and does it as complicated as they can. Heck, some of their ePub is broken and because of this, ADE on a Kobo finds an error in the CSS and ignores the entire CSS.

You can do a much much better job then Standard Ebooks does because they take the position, do it complicated and use code that you don't need.
