Whilst I am used to dead-heading, I had never thought to apply it
to Heuchera, possibly because the seed heads are still quite
attractive. However, I've recently seen it suggested. Any
thoughts?

I just remove them wehn they look unsightly. I don't think it has a
significant effect on the plant.

Am I lazy? I've never dead headed, chopped or done anything to
heucheras other than, every other year, "replanting" them - they seem
to push themselves out of the ground.

Yes. I've been doing it for some time and am repaid with more flowers.
