I would say how you do your load development and how you arrive at what is your final load matters more than all the sorting and uniforming in the world.
Just because you end up shooting a couple of small groups it doesn't mean its a good load. I think a lot of people rush or neglect the load development and call it good as soon as they see something that to another man would only be considered promising.
You’re 100% right, and once the load of found why not make them as accurate as you possibly can.
Load dev for me is about looking at windows also. Find a wide powder node and a wide seating depth node unless you enjoy constantly chasing a very narrow node.

I use decent brass, so I dont do anything like sorting it, and I never touch the primer pockets or flash holes. I keep all firings together so they all age at the same rate.
I measure headspace and shoot in order of variation, but thats normaly only 1-1.5 thou.
I sort my bullets and point.
I measure power to 0.04 so if Im wanting 44.0 Ill allow 44.00 and 44.02 - not 39.98 or 44.04. Does it make a difference? Probably not! Does it do any harm - definitely not so why not do it, its another thing to eliminate.
I seat to approx 1 thou, and make sure all neck tension feels the same - anything thats an anomaly is a blow off.
Can you get away with not doing this, probably - but after 600 yards, everything needs to be super consistent and if it makes no difference but mentally eliminates any doubt its worth doing.
This video is good
