Many home studio engineers including myself have worked on mixes in the past, spending time carefully attending to all the sounds that make up the mix only to come to the end of it, add what we think will be subtle changes and then suddenly what we set out to achieve has just become wildly different and moved the goal post again.
It is a common practice to mix into a working mix buss, but it's just at what point you discover this and try to implement it into your workflow.
To give you some idea of what I have on my mix buss for a typical rock mix - I use console emulation, tape saturation, EQ, compression and a limiter. They are all contributing small amounts to the 'bigger picture' and these decisions are what bring together the tens of hundreds of tracks that can be present in a session.
