Re - not having IFE for a 2i IS race.
I ran a 20 year testbed with the race I outlined above. (small,normal)

I found 6 greens within 3 years at warp 9 (which was a bit lucky more 1 in 4 than the actual hab of 1 in 5)
I built a grand total of 16FT for a cost of about 800 resources. By turn 19 I had LFs but effectively for the 20 years I did all my expansion with privateers. I did occasionally lose a year due to needing to slow down to save fuel - but this was rare

For a race like this I would definately not take IFE. I would build about 20FT to be on the safe side (1000res to save 100rw points) and if not so lucky on the greens I would sacrifice 400kT pop to colonise a red on route and set up a staging dock.
