I too generally do that, but perhaps for somewhat different reasons. I'd be
perfectly happy to open the JPEGs directly
in PS, click on the Action that converts to 16 bit, and work from there.
However, the Exposure and Recovery sliders work differently than their apparent
equivalents in PS. Recovery is
especially useful with many of those JPEGs. And there is no direct Color Temp
adjustment in PS.
So although many Sammy images would be fine directly in PS, I tend to open them
all through ACR

Output bit depth is a setting. You can have it convert or not, as you choose.
The same with output color space.
You also have a choice whether the EXIF of the original JPEG is modified or
not. Alt-Click on the Open Image button to
avoid altering the original. I prefer to leave the original unaltered in any
way, and save all my edits in a PSD file.
Otherwise, the original JPEG will always want to open in ACR, even if I want to
do something else with it later.
