Just imagine changing chapter headings in it. How many documents might you have to open? Ridiculous.
Hmmm... I believe the NCX file is not compulsory. The OPF file has no information about chapter headings, it's just filenames. It's also not compulsory to have multiple files, one for each chapter (although it may be needed for mobile readers). And if you want to change just the look of the chapter headings, you only have to modify the CSS file

But you're right, it would be nice to have a tool to semi-automatically create OPF (at least manifest and spine) and NCX files.
