No, sorry. This is _not_ correct. I will explain it better:

You have disabled the profiles only with 'logon path =', because the var
is blank. Verify it with

mg2 # testparm -sv 2> /dev/null | grep 'logon path'
logon path =

If you remove 'logon path =' from smb.conf, then Samba uses defaults
(roaming profiles enabled). Verify it with

mg2 # testparm -sv 2> /dev/null | grep 'logon path'
logon path = \\%N\%U\profile

If you set 'logon home =' (blank), then 'net use ?: /HOME' is not
possible. Verify it with

mg2 # testparm -sv 2> /dev/null | grep 'logon home'
logon home =

If you remove 'logon home =' from smb.conf, then Samba uses defaults
('net use ?: /HOME' enabled). Verify it with

mg2 # testparm -sv 2> /dev/null | grep 'logon home'
logon home = \\%N\%U
