Flashing a partition is easier from fastboot, which is why we do it for simple debricking, but from an update package it seems a bit extreme (and then you need to flash a matching diags kernel too, just to be safe). IMHO.

Of course, your way is guaranteed to work (even if future firmware DOES delete the /usr/local folder), so may be the best option in the end.
