If you color correct in RGB, regardless of bit depth, you've already done your homework. If you need to convert to CMYK you should not have to massage your colors further provided you used a good output profile: the profile has precalculated all the compromises for you. But if you want to subjectively play with saturation once the image is in CMYK it's your esthetic prerogative.

I have to disagree!

One of the huge limitations of the ICC approach is that it matches color one pixel at a time. That's not how we view images.

The profile precalculates the same compromise for every image-it ignores the image content and just pays attention to the spaces in which they reside. That's fine for blowaway cards or widgets on white seamless, but it leaves something to be desired for high-end work.
