I would agree with that. I would just suggest that the only way to get an ICC profile with quality results that doesn't cause undesirable artifacts is to create one that actually is suitable for colorimetric accuracy. Otherwise, you're just introducing another set of errors into the workflow, this time coming from inaccurate characterizations of your camera's behavior baked into the ICC profile.
And I'd further suggest that it's exactly those sorts of inaccuracies from less-than-carefully-constructed ICC profiles that have given colorimetric workflows such a bad reputation.
