This is clearly the best method - Sony's LUT is up to date on the exact color science of the Sony RX100 IV Slog 2 and SGamut. And you can use it. It will also deal with any overexposure you should employ in shooting Slog 2.
Applying LUTs in DaVinci Resolve
You can apply a LUT for color work in DaVinci Resolve 12.5 as follows.
First, download S-Log2 LUTs from the Sony website and save them in the LUT folder, because DaVinci Resolve 12.5 only includes S-Log3 LUTs.

- A LUT (Look-Up-Table) is simply a table of fixed numerical values that can be applied to video to alter its look. It can change an image’s contrast or colour or both. 1D LUTs are the simplest, each input value mapping to a single output value, while 3D LUTs are more sophisticated and can apply to a co-ordinate set of colours.
- Sony Look Profiles are designed to simplify the colour grading process. Supplied as 3D LUT (Lookup Table) files, our Look Profiles convert footage shot in S-Log to the REC.709 standard, making it easy to achieve dazzling images with S-Log, even for beginners.

You can also add your regular LUTs to the [3D LUT] menu.
Click the [Project Settings] icon in the lower right. In the window that opens, click [Open LUT Folder] in [Color Management]. Save the LUTs you will use in this LUT folder.
Here, use the S-Log2 LUTs you downloaded initially. Click [Update Lists]. You can now select the LUTs from [3D LUT].
In actual editing, you may need to adjust the contrast before applying a LUT. In this case, go ahead and adjust the contrast before applying the LUT. With the LUT applied and your clip shown in colors for a Rec. 709 screen, you can now color grade it as you imagined it.
