Yes, get_the_term_list() is a better solution but it doesn't use the data in post meta. When you're using one of the taxonomy fields (taxonomy_select, taxonomy_radio...), it stores this data as postmeta AND sets that post's taxonomy to those terms.

Using the method you describe, you're simply using the metabox as the backend editor for selecting taxonomy terms. You're not actually using any of the data it stores.

The way you describe is the way I'd prefer doing it.
