I haven't tested the Modify Epub plugin for this purpose myself, and I don't have any convenient ebooks to test it with, but I do see the option you mention. The hover text says that it “removes any existing charset tags on html pages and encodes in UTF-8”. OP's charset tags already say that the content is UTF-8, so the question in my mind which I would want to test out before relying on this feature is, how does Modify Epub detect the origin encoding? If it takes the original charset tag as gospel then it will get this wrong. If it does get it right somehow, then your solution will be much more convenient than the loop I gave above.
