So my issue might stem from using Word's List attribute (but why does Calibre mismanage that?).

Alas, this way the indent resulted misaligned (see image below).
Just fix the paragraph style. The main indent is the list paragraph wrapping and first line indent is relative to that so for a list will be negative.

I only ever need to edit image CSS, no other CSS ever needs edited.

The MS Word (and LO Writer) more advanced list features don't even work on many ereaders. You can only start from 1, A, etc. Auto list numbering and bullets doesn't even work well on HTML export. It only works 100% on direct print or PDF direct export.
So for years I create a paragraph style using body text and first line indent is negative usually. Numbers / letters / bullets are manually added. It 100% works for epub. Also mobi, azw3 and KFX made from epub by Calibre or Amazon.
