That said, few folks can be bothered to edit all their books manually. Most just manage with what they have.
As to whether your workflow is a good one, it's good if it does what you want. Everyone has different goals and does things in a different way. Personally I don't do all this bulk checking and fixing - I don't need most of that, I fix the formatting manually and fill the metadata in manually too. It's just faster for me this way. I do use Modify Epub for a couple of bulk changes, but not for fixing bad formatting.

IMHO Repeated metadata downloads rarely improves existing data.
When I have skimpy metadata, that inclueds stuff I added, I use the Ctrl-D get metadata and make liberal use of the arrows to copy existing to the left.
Note: you can hand edit the left side
