You really think 10% chance is that bad? I would still take it.

It is not 10% chance, it is 90% chance to survive *one* year of travel. Usually one wants to travel within 200ly range(19% chance) or 300ly range(27% chance). Sounds terrible. Especially if it does not take too big investments to travel without IFE anyway.

I'm with Kotk on this one. My last playtest with a CE race (last night, so very clear in my memory) had my first 11 ship movement orders fail. That's five years of the starting scout not moving, two years of the starting colony ship not moving (after tiring of waiting for the scout), and two years of two more scouts not moving (built after three years of the first scout failing to go). CE has the same '10%' chance of failure as W10 travel, so I wouldn't go with this option myself.

And I totally reaffirmed my hatred of CE. No idea why I even bothered considering it again.

you will still have wasted research (bio, prop, maxxed out techs) and you will never win the race to jihads, or nubians, or arms etc.

You'll win the race if you have twice the resources of your opponents - you won't have to detour to pick up those few levels that you need in other techs. One of those 'great plan, hard to implement' things, I know.

For Prop 26, add a wormhole generator. Generates a wormhole within some distance of the planet you build it on, and the other end randomly determined. Are wormholes prevented from landing on planets, by the way? Would you have to worry about having your ships sucked away, or perhaps wake up to find your homeworld in the middle of the enemy empire?

Bio 26, the Wave Motion Gun. As I recall, the Yamato stole their enemy's goddess to power this thing - so that's like Bio tech, right? Actually destroying the planet is perhaps a bit unbalanced, but maybe have it damage like a 250kT W20 packet attack. Or act as a super-bomb or something like that.
