It sounds like you have the right idea, AC43 gives good guidence, a
good repair job can potentially be stronger than the original stock
See Page 1-15 of the link

Yep, you can't go wrong following AC-43.
I would add one caution, though. (to the OP)
Be careful about beefing the joint up with a bunch of doublers and stuff.
You could make that area so strong that it creates a stressed area where the
repair ends. Out towards the tip, that is likely to not be much of a
problem, as if it were closer to the middle or root of the wing, but it
still is worth thinking about.
