Not really. GDAL is an abstraction of a lot of imperfections, so losses can 
happen for various 
(more or less well documented) reasons each time you export & import.

Yes, the GeoTIFF format isn't WKT based. So the GDAL WKT representation gets 
translated as 
best as possible into GeoTIFF keys, which don't support EXTENSION. TOWGS84 was 
added as 
an extra GeoTIFF key a few years ago by Frank, although not part of the 
original GeoTIFF 
specification.

Yes, a .prj file contains a ESRI flavour of WKT, which supports neither TOWGS84 
or 
EXTENSION, so they get stripped.

Yes, you completely stay in GDAL realm here without import/export issues
