Interesting. Many of the ideas and practices are bit too cumbersome,
in my opinion.

I found this to be an interesting detail, if you're concerned with or
need that sort of verification.
(All but one of my current cameras saves raw files as DNG directly in
camera now, so the question of whether to use DNG format or not is
moot.)
My standard import workflow from card to computer is to import with a
standardized rename into date ordered subfolders of the year I'm doing
the importing. The subfolders are named with a YYYYMMDD pattern to
indicate the year/month/day of the files they contain, the file names
are coded YYMMDD-{original file number} indicating capture date and
the particular camera sequence just as a unique breadcrumb in the file
system. I often rename master files again with a more expressive
filename once they've become part of a project.
