So what is the standard, simple, CDF way for an IFR pilot who’s going to descend below 5,000’ when inbound to an aerodrome with a discrete CTAF to manage the risk of radio equipped aircraft in the area monitoring only 126.7?

Is it is what is provided in the Canadian AIP RAC?
9.13 IFR Procedures at an Uncontrolled Aerodrome in Uncontrolled Airspace

Pilots operating under IFR in uncontrolled airspace should, whenever practical, monitor 126.7 MHz and broadcast their intentions on this frequency immediately prior to changing altitude or commencing an approach. Therefore, when arriving at an aerodrome where another frequency is designated as the MF, descent and approach intentions should be broadcast on 126.7 MHz before changing to the MF.
Unless you can state, in words of one syllable, who’s going to be transmitting what on what frequencies and where in the system you want, it ain’t gonna happen. Motherhood statements about simplicity and CDF are meaningless.
