As long as nothing else in the fic changes, I'm good.

Be very careful about that. FFF expects epubs to be updated to be epubs that it created. If you happen to have gotten internal file names and structure the same, you
might be able to update non-FFF epubs. But if it doesn't match well enough, your edited files will be discarded and chapters will be downloaded as if new.
Definitely make backup copies and test it before trying this.

I had just hoped that for those fics (AO3 generally - which I don't have a ton of), it would be easier for me to just skip the title page once I have it as I like it. Later I might come at the problem with fresh eyes and actually understand how to change my personal.ini to do that.

It's also possible to inject custom Calibre columns into the FFF title page. You might consider that instead.
If you have a custom column(s) that you put your preferred info in, there's a setting on the personal.ini tab ('Pass Calibre Columns into FanFicFare on Update/Overwrite') you can check. Then click the 'Show Calibre Column Names' button to see the injected column names to copy-paste into personal.ini as part of titlepage_entries or add_to_titlepage_entries to include them in the title page.
