The 1.2 minimum line height for body text is a bit larger than I'd like, but I've learned to live with it, especially after looking at the absurdly large line height in a lot of hardcover books that I own. Everything else, I can tweak outside of the Kindle.
I'm happy with the base font size I have chosen with my custom reading font, but if I absolutely had to have an in-between size, I'd just tweak the size inside the font file to be a bit larger or smaller.
Margins are fine, since I can use a negative margin applied at the
html level. This allows me to have almost zero margins, and only requires a quick CSS edit. It also means that any margin from zero to your choice could be set.

I actually hate hyphenation and actively disable it on my Kobos.

For me, I'm very picky about the huge spaces between words that the lack of hyphenation creates.
The only things I have found to be a real problem with the Kindle are the bugs in not displaying some CSS formatting correctly, but every eReader has those.
