No, I would NOT RATHER rasterize it but it's an option and at 2400 dpi you will never know the difference. You were asking for one click recoloring in InDesign and you didn't want to sacrifice quality. That would work for you in that case.

Me personally I have one customer that sends me PageMaker docs with WMF files embedded and they don't send me the actual WMF files. You can't export them at high res out of PM so I copy and then paste into Illustrator and save out as EPS. If I only had a few of these WMF files and they had a lot of different tints that needed to be a percentage of a spot color I'd use the method above. One click coloring them in PM and I'm done with them. I wouldn't do it if I had large graphics or a lot of small ones. The ones I use almost always need to be grayscale so I paste them into Illy, select all, convert to gray, save as EPS then update the links in PM. All done and with high res vector files that will actually print.

Why do you even bother asking if you have it all figured out to begin with?

I know what you really need:
