Yes, I agree, although it begs the question of what to do if lockFocusIfCanDraw returns NO. In my experience, that only happens when the view (or any of its ancestor views) is hidden so you can just give up in that case. I agree also that drawing within drawRect: is much the best way, but it occurs to me that you might have a ton of existing code that doesn't see life in those terms. I'd head in that direction though, if you can.
