I suspect many images that get luts applied, well depending on the lut of course will not actually even need filmic. Personally I have been working on a workflow (early days) that uses neither filmic or the base curve… I start by using the auto exposure setting and then I use 2-3 instances of the tone eq. I am finding in early experiments that I can manage highlight detail better… If things are blown it remains to be seen where this takes me…could be a fad but I have had some good success and no messing with color preservation norms and the like… still lots of room to work on color with CB and CC instances…
