I think your logical thinking took you down the right path. My "binary" test for "is the cylinder getting gas?" is exactly as you suggest, pulling a plug and seeing if its wet from gas after cranking. Playing the percentages, if I hear the fuel pumps working I usually stop right there, assuming that the likelihood of the injectors not pulsing is pretty small.

For the visual spark check, I try to lean a plug next to some bare metal near the cowl but under the hood, so it's visible as I stand next to the driver's door, reach in and hit the key to crank it.
