Yes. That's exactly the workflow that seems to work best for my most
demanding high-end users. There is a slight theoretical disadvantage in the
redundant transform (possibility of quantization errors or banding) but in
practice I've never seen banding caused by this workflow.
The advantage is that all editing is done in an essentially unlimited space,
but one that obeys all the nice rules of RGB with none of the dangers of
6500K. Your archived RGB image is never clipped, so if you output it again
next year on a wider gamut device you'll recover the colors you couldn't
print this year.
