A few years back I did a series of reproduction of oil paintings in
private homes where i HAD to get the colours right. I bought a gray card
that I took one shot of at each location. Then, in Lightroom I could
select all images from that location, use the WB eye dropper on the gray
card, so that LR synchronised the change to all the images.
"Should we"? No collective "we" here, as far as I'm concerned. :-)
Pentax got infamous for its white balance in tungsten light, and have
implemented a camera setting that allow you to moderate the degree of
compensation for tungsten lights. Try tweaking that first to see if it
makes you happy.
Using the eye dropper on something you wish to perceive as neutral
should get you in the ballpark with Lightroom. Someone's white T-shirt,
etc...

Many homes still use yellowish light for internal illumination instead
of the less power hungry LED bulbs.
And photos come out with a strong color cast especially skin tones.
I have given the link to a sample photo which shows the yellow color
cast - though surprisingly the skin tone is fairly OK:-

The Question: Should we neutralize the overall yellow color cast and
correct the skin tone in post, or leave the photo as it is??
I often end up with "sick" looking skin tones when I adjust the WB
Temperature in Lightroom.
Looking forward to your feedback on your preferences.
May the Force be with you.
