Not as special as you may think. Yes, likely talking with 81 ly for first good green. If you put the effort into factories AND mines rather than research, the extra mines early can more than make up for the germ burnt.

It doesn't take hours to calculate, when the situation hits it fairly obvious. HE is most likely (wider hab, less time before 25% capacity) to hit such a case.

Narrow habs+an immunity also has a fair chance at such a situation, the chances of getting a really good green near you HW isn't that bad.

Higher planet density, slow tech game, and other factors may make a few small freighters early more attractive as well.
