All of these charts are only ballpark at best, and they're going to vary wildly if the color temperature on set isn't predictable and set in the camera. (In other words, mixed lighting will make the process go crazy.)
The Color Checker Video is
closer, but even that's not quite right. None of them can get right in the "boxes" for vectorscope. I think 50% is even where the DSC charts go.
I find for the video chart, the hue vectors are close, and the rest you have to approximate. Unless you use a really well-calibrated chart (which the Calibrites are not), there's a bit of guesswork involved.
Using the right camera color science and at least a grayscale chart can yield reasonable, ballpark results. If you know what peak white is, and what black is, and what middle gray is, you can kind of reconstruct the rest. Where the color biases are depends on the camera. The Sony ZV-E10 is a very modest ($600) still camera that can be used for video -- I would consider it kind of Rec709-ish and just get the gamma curve right and balance the rest by eye and by scopes.
