I'm  shooting a building facade and would like the resulting pano to be squared/rectilinear with no keystoning (due to the perspective of the camera location).

I've added a number of vertical control points and the stitch looks great. I then adjusted the pitch and that seemed to correct it well enough, but it was off the canvas, so I clicked "Fit Panorama" and that seemed to fit it using the adjusted pitch.

Is this the correct workflow I'd use? Is there anything I'm missing?

If you want to have it totally square you can also add horizontal
control points on horizontal features. Always press F5 to re-optimize.
Pitch and Yaw should then be adjusted automatically.

Yes. If you want to remove the black spaces, you can drag crop lines
from the edges of the Panorama Editor.

Owen,  Do you mean you adjusted the pitch manually after the optimization?  There should be no need to adjust the pitch if the vertical line control points are doing their job in the optimization.  Sure, the image may end up being cropped at the top, but the vertical angle of view of the Panorama Editor window  (canvas size) can be adjusted with the side bar slider to encompass the whole image.
