Personally I find trying to match a cameras JPG a fruitless exercise as I can nearly always produce a superior result to the camera. I get much more detail from my raw files. However, you like the look of the cameras sunset and therefore use the cameras JPG is my advice. However, here is my attempt to get close to the cameras JPG very quickly. I had to add a lot vibrance to the image to get the strong saturation given by the camera. I also use sigmoid and not filmic. Moving the preserve hue slider in sigmoid allowed me to get a close color match to the cameras interpretation of the sunset.
If you look at mine it doesn’t have that strange halo artefact around the sun that the camera has given, therefore I feel I have beaten the camera for detail. Color is personal taste.
