Here's my tip from 19 years of experience (I'm 43) and hundreds of customer domains I've registered. My first one was cyrcus.com, the one of my band at that time.
I have NEVER registered a domain for a customer in my name. This is not only unprofessional, but also legally questionable. You cannot, in my view, run a client's business under a domain that legally belongs to you.
I have also often heard that webmasters block the domain if there is trouble with the customer. I have often retrieved domains for my customers that some service provider has registered to himself without the customer's knowledge. This is already criminal for me.
Your arguments about connecting the domain correctly are correct. But this is how you do it professionally:
Sign up with a good web hoster as a reseller, so that YOU can register domains for your customers on their name. This way YOU have full control and the customer is the legal domain owner.
In my case: I have a server with a reseller contract that costs $500 per year. I can store hundreds of customer projects on it and charge 10-20 a month for each. If a customer wants a new domain, I can tell them if it's available, advise them and order the domain for them.
You don't necessarily need an expensive server. You might find a web host who will add you to their reseller program for free:
