That's exactly right. But wouldn't you rather have some method (i.e.
color-managed procedure) that can account for the bulk of this process
without manual editing? That's what I'm looking for--a way to get closer
while minimizing the manual editing necessary.

You could edit your scanner profile to get lighter results (can be done also otger way round) to start with. This can be done either with profile-editor or manually darkening the 16-bit target-scan (curves midpoint 5-10 percent lower in luminance mode, experiment needed) to cheat the profiling-sw to make profile to give more lighter scans. Usually color shift is not so large.
Another method is to assign a "gamma-lowered" profile (you can make custom one in CS/color settings of your favorite working space) to an image, eg. Adobe 1.8 (whatever you like) instead of normal 2.2. This can be easily automated, even some scanner-sw allow assigning a "wrong" profile.
