Taking into account that I have never piloted a pressurized aircraft, to
me
it seems like the most demanding task in managing pressurization has to be
to make sure that the cabin pressure matches the outside pressure upon
landing. If, for example, you landed at Denver with sea level cabin
pressure, you would have to sit inside the airplane for quite a few
minutes
while the cabin depressurized at a comfortable rate before you could open
the door. However, most articles I've read about cabin pressure
management
don't discuss this aspect. Am I missing something?

No, you have it right. Cabin pressure is usually adjusted when beginning
descent (within 300 feet of destination altitude).
