For many, this is not at all an optimal solution. D50 is the standard for a
graphics workflow--even for the ambient light. If you conform your ambient
light to match your monitor's native white point (and these can get very
blue) then you run the risk of having your files go "out" to other vendors,
with the colorimetry unintentionally representing incorrect colors.
In this case, I'd say you are still better calibrating the monitor to the
ambient light and sacrificing some brightness, as you already described.
