I don't have direct answers to your questions, but here is my 2 cents.

I rarely go above 10 for mine efficiency. The reason is it costs a lot of RW points. Yes, you will get more minerals long term. I think you are better off using the RW points to improve your hab ranges (which will give you more minerals, more planets = more minerals) or make the factories better/faster.

There is no point in having better long term minerals if your neighbor is faster than you and runs over you.

My favorite way to get more minerals is to win battles and get salvage Very Happy

In certain game settings I will go above 10 efficiency, but it is the exception to the norm. I think there have been threads before where better mine efficiency was compared to increasing the number of mines and I seem to recall that it took a long time for the better mine efficiency to pay off. Combine the long payoff with the extra RW points the higher efficiency costs and it is likely not worth it for many game settings.
