Very interesting...

I always considered the wet room workflow close to ZERO WYSIWYG! My prints
usually look nothing like my negatives, cause they turn positive; I work
under weak red lights; and I can never see the result of my manipulations
until after the fact, and it's too late. And that's before dry down and
toning. ;-)

Whether digital printing has "arrived" or not I can't say, but I can tell
you it's workflow will spoil you VERY quickly.
