Facing pages on epub?
You'd need a giant screen. Makes no sense on bulk of things used to read ebooks.
I can't remember even seeing facing pages in reflowable ebooks in twenty years.
Have you actually tried using facing pages on a 6″ to 8″ eink or on a 4″ to 6″ phone or an iPad mini?

During my testing, when both pages are just simple text, they do align. But when one page contains a chapter header at the top in a different font or size, no amount of minor spacing tweaks will achieve the desired goal.

It's what I'd expect. But what on earth did you test on? Some 10″ or larger device in landscape? Hardly anything more than Manga or comics are read on more than 8″ and slightly more than half of ebooks are read on phones.
I'd think only fixed layout will let you do what you ask and that won't work for most user-reading people as it needs 10″ or larger in landscape.
Really real ebooks (not image based or PDFs) are single page and simulate two page up by using two columns.
