Your rule of thumb. Mine is different, I've found myself building well under the maximum I had available too many times, following guides like that one
As for all-expensive... Depends on your econ and playstyle. In this case, weapons is forced expensive... So the most important field is already slow-tech-expensive.

Strongly disagree I've been a tech leader with all-expensive, facing races which didn't. (In a game with weap forced expensive, like in the OP's game.) Didn't win that game in the end, but tech wasn't the problem.
Still, you certainly have to be getting a lot for your points to make it worthwhile. I wouldn't take it with the race described above, but it's one avenue that could be explored if the player favoured raw econ over tech.
