I don't keep track of my reading dates, it's not important for me. Date purchased is not that important for me either, the year is enough. Ratings and votes by other people... no way, I don't want to see them. And in the 15 years I've been using calibre I have not once imported any lists - because calibre is the only place where I manage my books.
As I said, you're way overthinking here and reflecting your own personal preferences.

Ive found that the Goodreads plugin is useful for forcing metadata if you can't get it any other way. Linking to Goodreads gets the id. Whether or not you use Goodreads.
