If you're making profiles for photo as opposed to portrait use, I'd
suggest using few patches: Your aim is smoothness rather than
accuracy. Color breaks are deadly visible, eg. in a face while tone
errors are not a big thing - after all cameras are not color managed
anyway, yet.
Serious problems in a photo profile would for me be indicative of
either reading errors or linearisation issues in the dark tones with
an inkjet. The latter are a known weakness of the current inkjet
technology.

Until I hit one with a particular brown in it that was just WAY off. I mean totally off. On one of our other printers it was a particular cyan that was also totally bizarre. You only notice it when you hit prints with that particular color in them.
