Well, the advantage of an epub is that one Search & Replace in the Calibre editor will fix it.
I've bought ebooks that were hugely more "broken" and required some expertise and time to fix. Occasionally I get a PD ebook using multiple nested <blockquote> instead of one <p class="super-big-indent"> and such paragraphs end up as a narrow column, sometime less than a full word wide! |

Mayby the conversion issue is related to Calibre conversion "soft hyphen" fix made in 2021. Sorry, can't find specific Calibre version number... Topic of report: soft hyphens in docx conversion output

Although: Seems comit only takes care of trailing spaces. Actually the same problem (space lost) will occur with leading ones... (Just tested in Calibre.) |

Just quick test with Calibre 7.7 (released 2024-03-14):
source epub (positions of soft hyphens signalized as "{sh}"): Code:
Aaa{sh}aaa aaa{sh} aaa {sh} aaa {sh}aaa. Calibre version 7.7 preserves spaces around soft hyphens. As expected. Thank you. |

But any document with spaces either side or both of soft hyphens is broken.

Quoth: Actually not "broken". But such use of SH is evidently undesirable. But even such undesirable use of SH could cause further damage to converted documents. I am happy the conversion behavior has been fixed. I am not so happy of me and Quoth spinning in a circle.

Any electronic document or ebook with wrong combinations of characters is "broken". You fix the source.
I'm baffled why you want to convert obviously malformed documents when a minute or two would fix them. |
