That's right.

Really most of the need for headings not starting on a new page is non-fiction, and even reflowable epub3 is still poor for scholarly works or textbooks, which is why those often use PDF.

The ePub format has improved significantly and now also allows for use in technical and non-fiction books. Consider the following images from Aristotle's Rhetoric:
The interesting thing about this is that those screenshots are from an epub2 opened in KOReader! When the book doesn't have images and its design isn't too complicated (I mean, it doesn't have a dynamic layout that needs to change depending on the e-reader's screen size and the font size used by the user), the epub2 protocol can still compete with epub3, even for technical and non-fiction books.

Okay, it's your choice, and I respect that. But since it's cheap now and works well to avoid unwanted page breaks, it doesn't hurt to consider using it.
