Yup, I do, because I don't shoot events requiring thousands of images.
Processing raw files is not a huge task for me. Actually, if I was

raw + jpeg with the raw file for recovery if needed.

No, I'm not. I make it a practice to assure that none of my colors are
clipping.

Umm, no. If I have to "recover" highlights I haven't done the ETTR
thing correctly.
