Well, when it comes to the reds, I'm not sure I would agree with that solution. I do get what you are saying in that the red tends to pop more than other colours, but because the GOUT is washed out in general, leaving the reds alone produces an imbalance and gives the image an "improper" look (even if the reds are technically too high by measurement). Something about it just looks dull and "incorrect", I guess, if you can see what I am saying. I'm not sure what the solution to the problem can be, but leaving them alone IMO doesn't quite work. You need the bright reds. You are right though, the reds are already bleeding a bit just in the raw GOUT, but they don't have the vibrancy that pushing them gives them, which matches the rest of the image. It's a weird problem.
