Is this second step advisable, or is the Redirect sufficient?

I don't believe that you can do a redirect, because you'll create an endless loop for your server. Because "index.php" is the default page within a folder, redirecting the index.php path back to the "/" will only cause it to keep redirecting itself over & over.
What you need to do is try and find out where the "index.php" is being referenced in your blog system/template and modify if to point to the "/" only (removing the index.php from the path).
