Yep. I use exifiron for lossless cropping, rotation, or both.
I've fiddled with jpegtran as well, and can't remember what
I've ended up using for what. :-)

When it's stable enough that someone who's unfamiliar with the
code (and may not be a coder) can install it and get it to do
something useful, I'll release it. I get lots of interest
whenever I describe what I'm doing, so I know I'll have no
shortage of beta testers.

jpegtran has issues with every digicam I've owned.. it always left a strip on the side of the image unless I used the --trim option. So I ended up getting a lossy rotation. I was rather happy to discover exifiron got it right.
