So far, it sounds that you are satisfied with the process.  
How do you get the metadata from, respectively put the metadata into the WAV file?

Hmm ... sometimes I have the same thought, why not having only one universal tool on the work bench?

I know of writing metadata to WAV file by my work with CoolEdit and Adobe Audition some time ago.  
You wrote, that Audacity knows how to write metadata tags to a WAV file.  
While Mp3tag does not offer the tagging of pure WAV files you should better ask Audacity to offer support for reading Metadata from CSV file for tagging WAV files.
