He has a mirrorless camera. An rather expensive one at that. The viewfinder with the histogram does a great job of evaluating exposure. Do not forget about exposure compensation.
You are right that other meter modes can help too.

I have no experience with an R3. Please take my advice with a grain of salt. I never liked bounce flashes. In part I was never properly taught. As such, my photos with flash are poor. As such I have used a video light. That too was sub-optimal. I tried a ring flash. It worked very nicely photographing orchids.
For the most part, I will keep my camera (5DIV) on Manual and play with the ISO. An important addition to your bag would be a light meter. Keep a Sekonic Twinmate nearby. It will help you adjust and familiarize your self with your camera’s capabilities. Good Luck!
