I prefer the firmware approach.
When the vignetting IR issues first presented themselves
many were writing actions to overcome them.
APITA as far as I was concerned.

I'd think that writing plug-ins for all the different post processing  
apps
would not be a very inconsistent way to achieve the best possible file
out of the camera.

Minimal and/or creative post processing only
and
best possible file right-out-of the-camera gets my vote.
