Yes, I do the same with a few additions in the printer settings.
And my print house allowed TAC of 300-320%.

Re: Dark Brown CMYK
Yes, various output conditions allow greater/lesser TAC. The job from my screen shot was intended for newsprint in the UK and so the TAC is much lower than any of the FOGRA conditions.
It would be nice, failing an actual Document-level color spaces to be defined, if Xara at least tied a user-selected output condition to the Show Print Colors button.
One reason I still use CMYK color books even in color-managed applications, is because I began doing print work on an amber monitor using PCs. No chance to even see variations in color on-screen. Later, when paper white monitors became available, I marveled that at least then I could see gray shading for given colors. Then, when VGA monitors became available, PC applications were still not color-managed so the color books were still relevant. Perhaps it is still out of habit (and necessity in XDP) that I still use them. And I have several from straight CMYK color swatch books to a couple with harmonious CMYK swatches for thematic use, etc.
