I guess I'm saying that since table styles are there (you cannot get rid of
them since each table has one applied) you might as well apply the settings
that make sense (such as borders and shading) and leave the ones that don't
(paragraph and font formatting) to paragraph styles. Personally I don't work
them like that, however. Instead, I make use of AutoText if I need many
tables in a document, and I use paragraph styles to format cell contents
(see also the article at
http://www.shaunakelly.com/word/tablestyles/index.html).

That's not the way I use table styles.
Why bother with table styles at all, if you have to apply paragraph styles
on top?

Indeed, using paragraph styles to format the text in cells is better than
changing the font properties for the table style.

And, of course, the approach can be successfully combined with the
AutoText approach that I described in a previous message.
