In practice, the only way I can be assured that the colors I see while processing an image are going to be matched by the colors of the product, that being a print or a jpeg, is by using a profile for export that should preserve (rather than clip) visible colors.
Perhaps I misunderstand what you are say, but using a large profile for editing does not mean the colors displayed on a print or online will match the colors you saw and want to reproduce.
For online viewing, many monitors and viewing software are limited to sRGB or a bit larger for some better monitors. Those colors you process using prophoto or another larger gamut space are may be well outside of the sRGB gamut. The way to see the result is to downsize the gamut to sRBG or perhaps P2. Otherwise the online viewing is going to crush those colors and give you something you did not want.
A similar issue exists for printing. The color gamut for printing depends on the printer, inks and paper choice. In my case my printing choices allow a gamut roughly the size of Adobe RGB. Hence I do all my processing in Adobe. That matchs my printer needs and downsizing further to sRGB rarely causes any noticeable changes.
