The steps you mention seem fine to me Roberto, Detlev has detailed an alternative.
If you lose a client and need to rebuild (i.e. you didn't get chance to run the "--uninstall" option) then you can also just delete the host entry from IPA through the web gui or ipa command line before running the ipa-client-install (join) command. When I have issues with clients (very infrequent and I have some 5000 clients) I find that running the "--uninstall" and then the install (steps 1 and 3) fix most issues without having to look into them (blind fix for the time wary!)
