Saves lots of time. Someone will surely say the the cam might be binding and you'll never know. Worked for me 40 years, YMMV.
I like your procedure John. Could you give a general overview from that point forward? I’m guessing:

Heads to Cam Case/Tower
Rockers and Shafts in CC/T
Head/Cam/Tower to Cylinder/Engine Case (Cam to 12 noon, crankshaft pulley to TDC)
Chain Boxes to Case/Tower
Chain guides, idlers, cam sprockets, tensioner's
Time camshafts
Rocker Covers
Chain Case Covers
