The issue with setting WB is not a JPEG vs RAW argument, but an issue of time in processing regardless of which you use.
WHen you shoot raw, it carries with it the WB settings and many image editors use this to display the colors. If you take a don't care attitude, you can be carring the wroing settings into you rPP and spend time re-adjusting.
I shoot JPEG and while adjustments are just as easy during PP as with RAW for WB, it is always better to start close, especially since JPEG is only 8 bit color not 12 as your RAW image
