Yes I know. Your way is a good way to always on manual. I do however use A mode about as often as M. I do also use auto ISO but only in A mode. When I switch to M I turn off auto ISO. I also never make a mark on my camera or any of my equipment. That including tools (cameras are not tools for me).
I do switch away from M-mode for either of two reasons:
1. To access a user/custom mode.
2. To enable Ultra Manual (Toggled AEL in Program mode)
Those are not momentary adjustments or settings. They are the same as parking one camera to use an entirely different camera.

While these statements are not necessity wrong, the results will depend on your metering mode. If you use spot metering centered on your subject, EC may not be needed.

Too easily the wrong tool in the wrong hands.

May not, but if your subject is very light or very dark using spot could easily under or overexpose the subject.

I use EC to insure that my highlights are not blown, then I can tweak the finer details in Post. I do keep an eye on my subject to try to get the exposure right in camera. I use my histogram to make sure of this and I typically try to ETTR (expose to the right) so I keep an eye on my darker values. Remember, the noise lives in the darker end and increases when images lightened. Having said this, when using additional lighting other than the natural available light, it’s easier to control the subject lighting and control areas that would normally be blown out.
