It's up to you. All editing programs work great on JPEGs. The from-camera JPEGs have all the same pixels as the RAW files. But, the details that describe each of those pixels have been compressed into an 8-bit format, down from typically 12-bit. The further you need to edit the image, especially in the modification to the color tones (making the image much brighter or radically adjusting the white balance), here you're more likely to encounter issues in 'how far' you can adjust before running into problems due to the less data (bit-depth) of the image file.

If you're just going to press <auto> in your editor on the RAW file and call it done, how different is that edit processing than using the camera JPEGs? That same <auto> as you might be doing to your JPEGs too.

When you become a RAW photographer, you become the decision maker for these considerations in post processing, where many had been decided by the camera for the JPEG:

1. Sharpening
2. Noise Reduction
3. Color Saturation
4. Exposure adjustments, general
5. Contrast, general
6. Highlights and shadows
7. White Balance
8. Lens corrections
9. Color space
10. Pixel resolution for target image share platforms
11. Disk storage (for the larger files)
12. Image file back-up strategy (for those larger files)

You don't have to understand all these issues, but when you do, you'll be much more successful as a RAW photographer.

Personally, I think shooting JPEG+RAW is a waste of time and space. You don't get better at shooting and editing either image format, while the two versions of every image creates both version control management issues and excessive storage needs. If you work only with one file type, you can get a lot better at being successful with that file type, understanding deeply the limits and the opportunities of that format.

So you think jpg is not the "appropriate file type." Digital camera's get the white balance correct most of the time so white balance is a non-issue, and when it's not perfect, jpg editors allow adjustment w/o a problem. The issue was before editors had built in user friendly white balance tools, white balance could be adjusted in jpg's using other tools. Today the WB tools are available to all major jpg editors far as I know.

Raw files were not always available to anyone with a camera yet, color balance, color tone, exposure and so on could always be addressed with any jpg editor. That is one of there main purposes.

Today, full blown editors like Affinity Photo and ACDSee have white balance tools built into there jpg editors as well as the raw editors, it's the exact same tool. I have no clue if current PS has a white balance tool built in, but I know you could load a jpg image into the raw editor and use the tool there if you wanted.
