I agree that removing all most of them is fine, but you should probably protect your styling (single characters) before doing a complete sweep...

I'd change the individual letter spans to something else first, then get rid of the paragraph spans, then put the individual letter spans back to their original <span>.
Yes, started with a commercial epub, then Calibre transformed it to a kepub when sending my kobo. I would have thought major publishers would use good software, but experience has taught me otherwise.

I'd just remove the naked <spans>. Easy enough with regex find/replace in the editor.
