I just do not modify other people epub designs and layout without very good reason.

I agree with all of that.
Also I don't edit bought books unless they are too irritating on the ereader, or cause it to "crash" (both actually rare). I do leave drop caps, small caps etc alone if they are working.
I have some automatic transforms of a minor nature on conversions and for PD like Gutenberg use the automatic paragraph style swap (which usually only affects body) and puctuation smarten of Calibre.
