No, since the class will indicate and asterism, you can simply search and replace. There is no need for this, which is for web pages fed by servers not a distributed ebook.
Also in the source wordprocessing each kind of scene break indication can have a different style. That will map 1:1 to CSS and HTML.
You are right that white space scene breaks don't work as well in ebooks, especially on phone screens, where most are read.
There is zero need to utilize CSS as macros to insert content. It's actually more complicated and no easier to maintain and harder to generate.
It's for web page server side programming, which I've done, never for ebooks.
