I would like to be proven wrong, but that would be the way, I mean in your second pointvop you don't need to add another noise, your noise is already saved in an attribute, when you promote just check off delete original and you can access the same noise. Also noises have specific output ranges, they come in the documentation, so you can always add a fit node to change your range to what you need, in the geometry spreadsheet you can also sort by value so you can see max and min.
If you press X with your mouse over the noise output it will add a visualization node, you can visualize on the viewport or in the geometry spreadsheet the values. I know its not the same but as far as I know their is no way to do the same as the get maximum in set node in a vopsop context.
