Hey awesome, thanks for illustration. 
I have a fairly hectic day today so it will be still ~8 hours, before I can open civ and really comment on your post.. But quickly:
Do you have any saves from this approach? (it does not matter if they are unoptimized etc.) I think I have tried this particular order only once (max twice) and in most variations squeezed a 3rd worker before the 2nd settler. I would be interested to see how much faster you got the 3rd city up and running and compare openings. I haven't simmed anything for a while and I have somewhat limited time this week so fresh ideas are very welcome.
