Do most people have to go through all of this ceremony or is there typically a JTAG port on a motherboard that will do the trick?

Depends on the context.

If you want direct access to the hardware, you'll typically attach IC hooks to the SPI chip itself, and read/write with flashrom. It's almost always a chunky soic-8 package.
