I recall the ColorShop grayscale profile ability, built from the same as
the color profile. It was indeed a simple viable solution for a situation
like yours. The workflow without it does make for some extra steps, some
value judgements, and potential multiple version of files. Over time many
of the varied and niche options one could find for color management have
dried up or not moved forward. I've not seen a contemporary version of
that approach.
