Sounds much like what I do. I also ensure that the first entry in the toc.ncx points to the first part of the ebook that I want to read. This skips over the cover, copyright, also written, etc. the first time I start reading the book. This does require me to all too often convert the chapter header to a format that Sigil can use to generate a TOC entry but it beats the fun of manually editing the toc.ncx file.
I prefer not to trust Sigil's clean on save -- often you get another clean on open and I've had chapters missing large chunks after the automated process. Instead I use the Validate EPUB with FlightCrew button (the big green checkmark) and manually fix many of the issues.
