Yes, that's the easiest way.
I spent *a lot* of time trying to find another way, but they all failed.
There is one possibility that should work but it is too hacky for me:
very at the beginning of the VM (before starting Cocoa) read the arguments.
If "-headless" is present, then programmatically set/write the flag in the
Info.plist. If it it not, do nothing (or set it to false).  But modifying
the file on startup looks hacky to me. I prefer the user to manually set
it.
