I'm sure it depends on what is in your document. I mean, types of styles, frames, graphics, document layout - there are so many things that can mess up your output. Which is why we have those various ways to fine-tune the conversion with rules, extra CSS or even HTML editing. I use those. I figured them out for my particular document, and so far I was able to do everything I needed for a perfect EPUB output that does NOT require any manual correction afterwards. This is important to me because I generate several versions of content based on the same source files which are all ODT (made with LibreOffice). The entire book is a composite of multiple files, and the EPUB version is just one of several. Having to manually edit EPUB output would have me do those edits over and over again every time I update the source documents - and I am still writing and editing, so there are frequent updates. Each manual step is a maintenance nightmare.
