The issue is :- do Jpegs contain the same information as Raw files from an editing point of view ?
No they do not.

I only do bracketing if the light conditions are not ideal or there is heavy contrast in a single image. I usually do +-2 stops with 3 exposures, and then decide in Lightroom if I want to use all three or just 2 of the bracketed shots.
Which bracketing settings do you use?

I hardly ever bracket. It is usually as a safety measure rather than with the intent of combining images. Because I learned with Kodachrome, I tend to be very careful about exposure.
If I am going to develop from raw I might bracket in 1 stop increments. If I want to get it into a JPEG in the camera the increments might only be 1/3 stop. When I deliberately do HDR it's more likely to be 2 or 3 stop increments.
JPEG has a lot in common with Kodachrome. There is not a lot you can do with it after the fact, especially if you missed the exposure.
Developing from raw is much like shooting negative film. You have more latitude and you can correct exposure errors more easily. However, with raw you are still limited to about three stops above middle gray (Zones VI, VII and VIII) before even raw blows out. Negative film is the opposite of that.

Maybe if you posted a single positive contribution to this thread we might all be amazed. Can you give it a try? Do you have anything at all to offer?

There is nothing in Sophie Triantaphillido’s summary that contradicts anything we have been saying. It is well understood by many of us.
