I agree that Pro-Photo can be dangerous. I've been very happy using DonRGB
which is larger than Adobe, but it still fits nicely into the visible gamut.
It's also a D50 white point and so it agrees with everything else in my
shop. It's too bad that camera raw doesn't give me the option to save in
DonRGB, so I have to save in ProPhoto and then convert to DonRGB before
doing any work on the file. I archive it that way, but convert to a
destination profile when I know how it's going to be printed or displayed,
making any final adjustments for that purpose at that time. It's not a
workflow that may suit everyone, but I've found that it works well enough to
get me from one planet to another.

Yes indeed (the reason to use ProPhoto). But there are 'colors' defined in
ProPhoto that fall outside human vision. Those are therefore not colors and
no device could (should or will) produce them. Maybe my dog could see them
but we can't. So the idea not to use ProPhoto because no device can or will
render them isn't a useful argument against this color space.
May I suggest for those wondering about such spaces:
