See:

Confusion about the order of multiple instances of Diffuse or Sharpen

you have eyes, you have a safe testing framework (pipeline reordering is allowed), do your own tests and conclude. Moving diffuse or sharpen before input color profile means you apply it in sensor RGB space, which seems like a good idea since it’s the space where the demosacing issue arises (fixing problems close to where they are born is always a safe bet because it’s where you have the most chances to tackle their actual cause instead of some remote side-effect). However, practice shows that…

and perhaps

Diffuse or sharpen position in pixelpipe

After a couple more months of testing, it seems that the best place is after color calibration, aka where the pipeline is fully white-balanced. It seems to prevent some fringing.
