Right. And then you need to ensure the powers are enabled in the right
order, the pixel clock is started at the right time (some need pix clock
before reset), and so on and so on =).

I've seen panels that require a reset after powers have been off, or
similar, but I hope those are minority.

So yes, probably just making sure the reset is not asserted is the most
generic and easy way forward.
