It's a reversed order from my usual procedure but I guess it'll work
the same. It's just that I can estimate the second exposure (with G5
filter) easily based on what I get in the plain raw print.

I doesn't harm but I don't think that's necessary.
(Why does/should it help?)

Flashing the paper can only reduce highlight contrast. I don't think
you want that, unless your base exposure requires very high contrast
to render the main subjects with natural contrast, and it makes
highlight too hard. This part is hard to tell because you didn't show
the raw image, or explain the details of your photoshop
manipulation. So I'm just giving one possibility.
