Better to do as much as you can in Camera RAW since it's doing it's work on
linear gamma encoded data.

Correct. All the color management happens internally so what you see on the
preview, the numbers you get are the same as what will be presented to you
after the RAW conversion. So you can work visually and/or numerically (once
you select the Working Space from those options) and that's exactly what
you'll get when the file appears after RAW conversion.

The camera "profiles" (there are actually two per camera and they are not
ICC profiles but proprietary) are all done internally. You don't have to be
concerned with any input profiles for this mode of RAW conversion. Pick the
color space you want to convert into and then deal with the various settings
in Camera RAW to get what you want from the RAW data and move on.
