However the obvious counter example to that is IS, oddly.

Even without IFE you have your PRT fuel boosters very early.

Either take them along for the ride or build small groups of them and place them at strategic points - like 81 l.y. from a planet you are filling.
That way you split the journey into 3 parts
HW (or breeder) - refuel
refuel - target - refuel (no refuelling at target unless ISB)
refuel - HW
That should get you at least 6 years at Warp 9.
Even with ISB it should be useful for outward laden trips.

Ekhm... Ever checked how much fuel uses a full PVT with standard engine going warp-9? For 3 full W-9 jumps you need to add a SFX or 3 FX to get there and return with the same speed. And you can use FXes as "gas stations" only each third year (+200 new fuel per turn). For a fast expansion you need A LOT of fuel (resources and minerals spent on FX/SFX) or FM. It's your preference to decide what's cheaper.
