Almost everything in the article is valid, specially on how to setup the camera, but there is a small change that would make a world of difference and your life much easier. Instead of relying on the “Legalize” toggle, disable it and ignore it completely, then, load and use my preview LUT into the Atomos Ninja V, it combines the signal legalization with the 1_SGamut3CineSLog3_To_LC-709.cube original LUT, so you can preview the video as it is meant to be shown, adjust your exposure with either false colors or waveforms and your white balance with the RGB Parade, all while recording in ProRes HQ full range.
