If you don't need a feature of ePub 3, don't add it. Don't make your ePub more complicated then it needs to be. If the formatting is noting special, keep the code simple. If your code doesn't need anything special, create it as an ePub 2 and then convert it to an ePub 3 and add in the accessibility code. Also keep the toc.ncx for ePub 2 compatibility. The simpler your code is the more programs and Readers it will work with.

Take a look at the ePub made by Standard Ebooks. They make their code so much overly complicated that it won't work in places it should work because they try to use the latest and greatest code when most of the eBooks they have should be nice and simple. They use code that's not even needed. It's a disaster of poorly written code.
