Conversion to the ICC is the simplest workflow, but .... in that post of yours from early last year that I linked to above, you said "Throughout most of the range it's [a linearisation plot post conversion to and ICC] closer to diagonal, but curves at the bottom compressing the shadows a bit. So, yes, it doesn't work miracles but its the 'best' compromise. If you want more open shadows you've got to edit your file to do that -- I think you have the best control doing this. "
What is your current view on this? It's certainly my experience that in an image with deep shadows, converting to the ICC will lose shadow detail, and in the deep shadows it's hard to recover. This is why Jon Cone is so against converting to the ICC. What is your own experience of this?

My guess would be that this is the most straightforward approach.Just set up a Preset for this Export:-- TIFF, convert to RGB_Matte_Paper on output, some reasonable PPI like 360.You should be able to use this on any matte paper for decent screen/print match.Set up a second one if you do Photo paper too.
