Hi,

In my case I use darktable for RAW and digikam for exported and other JPGs. 

My workflow is quite similar. I think there arn't so many options.
1. copy and rename with system tools
2. import folder into darktable
3. reject junk and so on
4. editing
5. rating, tagging sometimes geotagging
6. export to digikam and my cloud

7. Gimp or hugin in very rare cases like x-mas cards or panos

I would say sorting and tagging takes quite a lot of the time, so I try to 
keep the number of shoots low and do the tagging before the export.
