The problem with that approach is that you're assigning everything after the last track ends as time on the last track. If you look at the segment map in MakeMKV for that title, which was the tool you mentioned, the end of the album looks like this:
... ,71,73,74,75,76,77,78,72,72,72,0

78 is 00078.m2ts as I mentioned, and then it switches to play the FFVIII logo for 3 seconds, 3 times in a row (00072.m2ts), then plays a black screen for 3 seconds (00000.m2ts). These are really not part of the album at all, no music is playing, it's just the equivalent of the FBI warnings that would play at the end of movie discs.

Also, chapters are entirely optional as far as blurays go. Relying on them for time information is okay, but it shouldn't be the only signal.

IMO it really, really makes more sense to use the timecode from both the MP3 version and from the actual song on the disc, not the song + the 4 outro video files that play after it. As it is, you end up preventing anyone from looking up the tracks based on timecodes through freedb, which is how I found out there was a problem with this even in the first place.
