If it works for you, then use it!
My concern is it becomes a 'calibre-recommended' approach, then documentation must support it, FAQs must explain it, and it must make sense to people who want to spend no more than 30 seconds thinking about it (this is not a criticism). Consider the author sort tweaks and the FN LN/LN, FN issues. In this case the tweak is semantically appropriate and affects calibre in the ways that are predictable, but it is unapproachable by a great many people. My feeling is that this is true because it describes 'effects' and not 'goals'. Using books for authors is a bigger version of this -- using the notion of 'book' to achieve the effect of managing something quite separate. I could go on, but I am beginning to bore myself, so it is obviously time to climb off my box.
