Although I have read about the brake application theory, I've never practiced it so i can't comment.
The good thing about the tip is you can't overrev it. The computer won't allow a shift if it will cause you to overrev the motor.
In the examples where I've driven a tip (AX and DE applications):
1) I left in full automatic mode because, specifically because I wanted to "simplify" things. Worked fine
2) Used the steering wheel controls for downshifting while braking for a corner. Then used the controls for upshifting as needed.
I think in #2 is how you could best enjoy the "manual" features of the tip.
To say you must downshift before and upshift after every corner is to broad a statement. Some corners, absolutely. Other corners? maybe not.
