Would rather not (personally) get into the habit of doing that as a rule of thumb, because I know I'll use it when Ds are meaningful and unintentionally throw the game's balance out of whack.

But isn't it all the same thing though? The -1 to hit or the -1 shift only applies when attacking a NINJA, which ignores Ds. The shifting down or the -1 to hit and looking before you roll isn't really throwing the game out anyway is it? You should be able to see ahead that way I would think.
Either method could be used to "quick reference" what you need to hit, and adjust as you see fit.
