I read the same thing many times and have always followed that advice.
I assume this is because when you set your individual volumes, it will be at a certain listening level, so at a different level the volumes won’t match. Not sure if that is true but it seems reasonable that different amps will increase their gain at different rates?

Good point about relative gain... A Mini DSP 4x10HD handles all the integration

Glue the veneer proud and then trim flush with a laminate trimmer. (that's how I do it anyway)
Mitering the corners (so you don't see any end-grain) is quite a bit trickier.
I did some laminated wood binding on a bass headstock and I had to glue and miter each piece by hand. Calculating the miter angle at the union of two concave curves is something I'd probably still be working on today... Razor blade and a steady hand... Trial and error...

I have a few flush cut saws like that (and other designs) and depending on what the veneer wood is (and it's moisture content) they can tear the $#!+ out of the corners. Straight razors can also follow gain and pull out at the corner. Ask me how I know...
A decent carbide bit in a regular router works nicely. Laminate trimmer is just easier to handle.
Sanding it in, as you originally suggested, is good if you have cut the veneer really close. It is very easy to take the corner out of square when sanding, but it can certainly be done. For a one-off (to avoid buying a router or trimmer) it's probably the way to go. But you really have to go slowly!
I may be revisiting this skill set soon to recover the SX-880 box. I'll need to reconstruct the corners a bit first, but it'll be fun to try real wood (unless I go with vinyl again).

I would agree with that.
My inlay work involved a LOT of final sanding to get a tight fit.
And I had to recreate some parquet flooring "tiles" in my Long Island house. The second floor was all done with them and there was some prior water damage and other horrors I had to make go away...
Making pieces of wood on the table saw with calipers... good times.
