Post-Processing with X-Trans?

Hi, I'm getting back into photography after a hiatus of 10 or more years. The last camera I owned was the original X100, but life got busy and I never really used it much. Before that I mostly shot film on various SLR's, although I did also own several compact digital cameras from time to time. I recently ordered an X-Pro3 and a couple of lenses, and am excited to get back into it.

This will be my first ever X-Trans sensor, and I'm reading a lot of people say they just shoot jpegs and do no post-processing, which seems - well, insane. I had a pretty standard workflow in Photoshop that consisted of denoising and then tweaking levels, curves, hue, saturation, and finally sharpening. Of course there is no replacement for good composition and exposure, but even my best images would benefit from some tweaking with some additional "pop."

Of course, I was often scanning in negatives and/or working from pretty low-resolution (6MP) files, so my source material was much worse than what I'll be getting now. My plan was to shoot RAW (kicking myself for never doing so before) and develop a post-production workflow within the DxO suite of applications (Adobe lost me with subscription-based service), but is this unnecessary? I can understand letting jpegs stand for themselves when dealing with relatively mundane snapshots, but for more inspired work, isn't it worth doing some post-processing. If anything, starting from a better place should yield an even better final image, not obviate the need for post-processing - right?
