Plug it in. Turn it on. Set up the pedal board. Tune the guitar.
Amp ready when everything's done.

I'll echo what has been said by others--I turn my amp on and 30 seconds later it produces sound. I consider everything good to go at that point.

That's pretty much what I do. Since you mentioned the standby switch I'll put this out there. My amp guy says to never turn a tube amp off when it is in standby mode. Don't remember why, though.

Hence the question…isn’t turning the amp OFF properly more important than tube warm up time?

My Mesa manual is silent on a procedure for powering off, and they're pretty meticulous in their manuals so I think it's unlikely that it's important and they forgot to talk about it. |

My tube amp is a Strauss SVT and i've always been of the opinion that five minutes as a standard is a good length of time to work from. I don't take my amp off standby until i know they're properly hot otherwise if you're trying to drive signal through the amp and the tubes aren't at their ideal operating temperature it can potentially damage components inside your amp.
It can also through your bias out as well apparently, I was told that by someone who knows a lot more about tube amps than me.

Let's use a gig as a gauge.
Set up, plug in cab, pedalboard, and A/C. Turn on. Get out guitars, tune up, by then your good to go. |
