From what i gathered in my limited time looking in arri. i would assume that with all the DR in the camera you probably just shoot at base than manipulate the image in post most of the time instead of changing the iso. I think the Alexa 35 is about 17 usable stops.

Ideally, you should shoot at the base ISO of every camera.
If you want to manipulate the image in post then you would want to shoot in ARRI RAW.
That said, the 17 stops lean toward the highlights instead of the shadows.
That was a strange decision to me since it has built-in ND.

There is nothing relevant 10 stops below mid grey and people want skies with colour outside the window. : )

ND pushes everything down and you get a thinner image.

This highlight DR advantage means you can expose normally and get shadows optimally exposed without having to push them in post and you get to keep the highlights in the same time. Practically no need for "protect the highlights" exposure approach.
