Does everyone agree that this is the "best practice" for the use case

Until more comprehensive policy becomes available, yes.

In general, using a cousin domain is a bad practice, where the term
"far" has not been met by your current practice. [...]
Are there any recorded data supporting that assertion?

We experienced an increase in phishing when our marketing department 
decided to use cousin domains to promote new products.  This left us 
dealing with a greater number of complaints from users confused by what 
they had installed. Unfortunately, there is an entire industry devoted 
to taking advantage of user confusion.
