True, I too prefer to manually set Colour Temp but usually when I don't want to muck around too much in post.
Lately I've been doing this with my drone footage too.
But if I'm going to do post work I find it simpler to just use Daylight WB, especially for nightscapes where stars are rendered closer to 'daylight' temp to start with and this gets me in the ballpark for the rest of the scene.
