The Photoshop manual says Pantone colors have CMYK equivalents, but how

Is there something wrong with using the custom/book color picker

No, Chris, there is nothing wrong with your suggestion. It works perfectly
well assuming john ennis will be working in CMYK, understands and uses his
Pantone Process Color fan book and/or spot colors, and has no adverse interfer
ence from a color management method. My book and PS shows PMS 3125 to be
CYAN-83, MAGENTA-0, YELLOW-23.5, BLACK-0.
If john ennis is working in RGB, I've got some numbers for that as well.
