In around a year of using the Calibre forums daily this is the only thread that I have ever seen such an approach discussed (beyond some single digit tags to support earlier versions of the catalog feature). Hence I consider it a "niche" rather than a recommendation - but hey if it works for you, go for it .
On this verbose day I'll take this opportunity to repeat: I'm not writing a guide. I'm not making recommendations. I'm just documenting what I'm doing because I thought new users might learn something from some of it, by having some concrete examples of how one person does things. That's all. Not a user guide. Not recommendations. Except, as a sort of general rule of thumb, to KISS things to make them better.

Edit: And also, the whole process of thinking about how I use calibre (or how other people do), testing different things, and writing it all out - helps me learn new things faster….
