The slow steady approach is a winning strategy when fighting the AIs.

However, humans grow much faster, and by 2450 you'll probably be in a major war, if your opponent has 2x your resources, and doesn't do some of the idiotic things the AIs do, you'll be wiped out.

If you only want to play slow games vs the AIs, then take the slow steady approach and have fun. Which, given the mods you're doing, seems most likely.

If you want to build up some practice for fighting against humans some day, then you're going to have grow faster. The other alternative is to set some game rules that limit growth, but you'll need to be playing against people, or accept some limits on your races when fighting the AI (which probably isn't a bad thing, although I've never done it).

One thing that you may not realize about playing with people, is that some things just go faster because you're playing with people who arn't all your enemy. For example, you can often intersettle and/or use allies bases for refueling, which extends your colonization range considerably. Also, tech trading will boost your research quite a bit. And, you don't need to constantly defend (although being obviously defenseless is a bad idea), because NAPs and alliances will limit your conflict area quite a bit.
