That one popular guide did more to damage the creation of epubs for accessibility (and in general) than anything else. I am constantly see people creating headings from paragraphs instead of css styling the h1-h6 tags themselves.
Tags have names that reveal both structure and meaning and they should be used. Using the right tags will not hold back the visual display when you can use css to style just about anything any way you want. Using the proper tags is very important for accessibility, archiving, and search of any digital publication.

Out of curiosity, is this the zen guide? That one drives me nuts every time it comes up.
