Looking for suggestions on how to cut accurate dados with a dado blade.
For the dados close to the end of the work, I was thinking I could clamp
2 shelf-size boards to the fence before the blade, and use the miter to
cut. Then remove one of the boards and cut again.

Is there a better way?

Router. Check Pat Warner's site for some information on how to make a nifty
jig for accuracy, IIRC there is a video but it may have been on another
site.

You can nibble away with a regular blade. Instead of one pass with a dado
blade, you make 8 or 10 passes with the regular blade. Not as neat though.
Be sure you have stops set too.
