Is there then a compelling reason to use strict color calibration on
the input end other than fixing extreme lighting conditions?
For certain forms of technical documentation (museums documenting their artwork, for example) the most literal and exact match is wanted. More often its a matter of trade colors for a company, where "fixing" them after the fact is more practical, and generally would still be required even if a profile was used. For fine art photography, its artistic intent, not camera output, that matters, and correcting visually on screen with a calibrated monitor is the usual choice, though getting the best built in profiles, and the mosts convenient tools, in your RAW convertor make this process as painless as possible.
