Would it be better to create the image with assumed_gamma 1.0 and
display_gamma 1.8, so the image maps look correct, and then render
at display_gamma 2.2? How would the image look different between
these cases? Are there other reasons to prefer assumed_gamma 1.0?

BTW, I'd probably produce the final image with a display_gamma 2.0,
a compromise between the two, as I don't want to totally abandon my
fellow Mac users :-)
