Yes, this is a good way, but indeed can clutter your todo list.

This would be a problem for allowing many DONE states, or for
allowing different TODO state sequences in a single buffer.
For tracking state changes, I don't think it is a problem,
configuration will be as simple as
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO ORDERED INVOICE PAYED RECEIVED SENT
#+STARTUP: lognotestate
and the rest will happen automatically.
