At any rate, I take it that your recommendation is to stick with the camera
profiles supplied by the raw converters (LR/C1 in my case) ... and to adjust
these using a colorchecker (DNG Profiler in the case of Lightroom) unless
it's absolutely necessary to have the absolute best color fidelity (for a
specific lighting/lens etc). Is that correct?
Well...it depends.
What's the goal? What type of photography are you doing? Why are you interested
in creating profiles in the first place -- what do you expect to gain from
doing so?
There are scenarios for which what you describe is ideal; for which it's not
even close to adequate; and for which it's completely irrelevant. Perhaps the
majority of photographers would be reasonably well served by the approach you
described, but it's a joke of a non-starter for colorimetric reprography and of
no interest to artists applying radical tone curves and color overlays.
