Yup, sounds like a good strategy.

The only degradation possible is if there's a large positive adjustment
which will cause digital clipping.  This won't be a problem with 99% of
modern music as it's so loud anyway and will have a negative RG value,
but could be a concern with classical music.  MP3Gain can indicate
clipping and can apply the largest gain possible before clipping
occurs.  Of course most gains will be negative, bringing the audio
further away from clipping.
