One CDDB id will get you all the metadata for the disc, but
CDDB is a very barebones schema and the hashing mechanism
is prone to collisions.  There are better systems around
(see http://www.musicbrainz.org) but if you are particular
you will want to roll your own.

Another thing the CUESHEET block will enable is pluggable
metadata handling, e.g. the FLAC plugin can support multiple
ways of hashing the CUESHEET and looking up info in an
arbitrary database.
