Yes, it would create blank pages within the body of the manuscript, but that's the way technical books are usually done.

I'm not aware that many novels employ heading pages that arbitrarily start on odd or even pages. If you're wedded to having that kind of setup, you'll have to unlink the odd/even headers/footers from the previous Sections and swap them around as required. Doing that will be problematic on any document subject to ongoing editing, as the edits are liable to change the # pages in each Section. A macro wouldn't be much help in such cases.
