OK, so I guess there's no silver bullet right now.

Priming with ISBN does help (when the number extracted is right) but GR is by far the most reliable way to update popular fiction books even without ISBN present. I really haven't had many false positives with it.

As I start importing my science & non-fiction books, GR will be useless and I'l have to deal with "meh" sources like Amazon and garbage sources like Google.
