Yes, I have an automated process that scans my entire calibre library, collates by author and series, and combines into a second library of combined books by series, that I then sync to the device.
I'm actually running the plugin version via calibre-debug, as that required less extra setup.

So far, it seems to be working well.
I read a lot of genre fiction, so having 5-15 books per series isn't unusual, and some have very many more than that.
I'm almost always going to want to read them in order, so having one book to look for rather than lots just seems to make sense, and the device remembers for me not just where I was in a book, but which book I was at in the series.
The TOC issue isn't a big deal, it only really matters for anthologies, where you might want to jump to a particular series out of order.
I guess this just seems normal to me, as I've been doing the same thing, on various devices and with various processes, for a decade now.
I tend to add new books infrequently, but splurge when I do, so the process doesn't have to be rerun very often, and only updates series that have actually changed.
