There's really nothing magical at all in EPUB, a valid EPUB stay valid if you only change its CSSs, they are only a zip archive of cross-referencing (files must keep their name and sub-directory inside the ZIP/EPUB) text files (optionally binary files for fonts, and for xhtml content when DRMed). The only possible problem when removing font-familly attribute is if it references an EPUB embedded font with characters not present in the eReader's fonts.

I tried that myself in many EPUB (public domain without DRM), no problem at all and I can select my favorite font. It's only a problem if you don't know how to edit and write-back a simple text file inside a ZIP archive.
