Agreed. In general, I think a lot of the discussion of ethics on LW conflates ethics-for-AI with ethics-for-humans, which are two very different subjects and which should be approached very differently (e.g. I think virtue ethics is great for humans but I don’t even know what it would mean to make an AI a virtue ethicist).
If I paraphrased your position as “In order to act well according to some consequentialist goals, it makes sense for humans to follow a virtue ethical decision-procedure?”, would you agree?

Sure.
