I'm afraid E-6 users will have to reply, I don't know.

Regarding soft proof, most curve makers calibrate to conform to some standard. Gamma 2.2 for Cone, LAB for Roy and those that use QTR tools, not sure about any others.
So, for standard curves that come with QTR, you can soft proof with one of his LAB profles, and/or work in that space. Same with Cone and 2.2. Additionally, if you can get, or make, QTR icc profiles, you can soft proof with those. Sometimes Cone distributes some for soft proof only.
If you don't print through them, but print straight from the file in native work space, check preserve color numbers in soft proof.
