It's correct that SDR calibration is still standardized to 100 nit, but most consumers are looking at 300-400 nit TVs today. What I really tried to explain – based on the initial question – is what we can show to an audience vs. the capability of modern cameras.
If all we can reproduce in the home is about 2 1/4 stops more vs. the 6-7 stops of conventional TV (in a very dark living room), any camera with more than 10 stops should be OK without grading. To have some room for stylistic grading, we'll want 12 or 13, and the UMP46 is definitely capable of that much.
To put it into another perspective: if you look straight into the sun in bright daylight for a while, you'll go blind!
Even a very expensive Dolby Vision HDR device will not damage your eyes when showing an image of the sun…
Now that the cat #19 is out of the bag, test it as much as you can and use the subforum.
