Go on a trip where you cannot readily connect to the net.
Months before the cloud version's release, I did exactly that as a test case. 6042 photos to be exact. The workflow outline on pages 5-10 of Edit Like a Pro and the order of the book was decided on that trip, except the sync waited till I got home as the hotel wifi was awful and I was on vacation so didn't want to spend every night sorting out photos! It was before version 1, so there weren't as many features as there are now, and there were a lot more bugs!
Everything got imported every night or two. Everything from that vacation dropped into an album, or I could have used an album per day. I did a quick skim through and flagged my favorites and rejected the duds. I added odd keywords in bulk to remember names of locations. Filtered just the flagged ones and did rough edits and dropped them in a shared album for friends/family back home. If I shared on social, I added a keyword to remind me. If there were photos that needed merging (this was before LR had merge), they went into an album called @Merge. That's it.
When I got home, I started back at the beginning of the workflow, with the exception of needing to add the photos. Everything synced to the cloud. Anything that didn't have a star rating was yet to be assessed, any keepers either needed editing or their edits needed tweaking on a better monitor. Simple as that.
Everyone will have their own preferences. Some people might prefer to only use flags, whereas I prefer flags for first pass and stars for second pass. I rarely bother to add Titles or Captions, except for the 4-5 star photos, and I don't add a lot of keywords. My album organization is fairly limited, but I do keep a few workflow albums starting with (e.g. @To Edit, @To Photoshop, @To HDR Merge etc.) for when I'm working on my phone/tablet, to remind me of things I want to do back at a desktop.
Most people coming to LR Cloudy are not coming from a Classic background, and don't want that level of having to "manage photos", but for those who do, I would suggest keeping it simple, and probably basing it around albums and folders. That would be easier to do if we some day get saved searches.
