What you show is close to my preferred method. I really don't like hx+p selectors since all too often there is other text between the header and the first text paragraph which leads to manual fixing.
OTOH, other than for my own use, I tend to dislike drop caps. The last ebook I helped with that used drop caps ended up with a mess of code trying to make the drop caps look
good acceptable in multiple formats and when drop caps just didn't work.
