Would it make sense to stop watering 5 days before harvest, and stop feeding 9 days before?

Depending on how fast your soil drys. Mine dries in about 2 days. I usually with only water for 14 days before harvesting.

I usually let them get so thirsty they droop a little, then water them and let them sit in darkness for 24 hours.

I let mine dry out good before harvest. I dont flush.
Ive heard of folks letting it die from no water an Vine Ripening it before cutting it down.

I don't flush either. I don't vine ripen and I water up until the day before. Most minor variations like these prolly don't make a lot of dif in the end product if it was grown properly.

absolutely no reason to deprive your plant of water and food in the last week before you harvest. All you are doing is losing out on weight and more thc. strawberrys, oranges, grapes, roses, tobacco, corn, watermellon... you don't starve any of these before harvesting them, so why do it to your pot plant.
