Not settling copper is not a 'gain some efficiency at some risk' play. It's a 'gain efficiency at the risk of having a game over'. There's a big difference there.
It has long been accepted (IMO) that this is an acceptable decision to make, simply because it means less time spent logging in and playing a turn that has limited meaning. Not specifically commenting on the correctness of such a decision, just that it's not a taboo.
I'm short of time and haven't had time to digest the rest of the post but this part stood out to me.
That is a ridiculous philosophy. Are you willing to throw away a game in an instant for miniscule gains? There are so many opportunities over the course of a game to take risks for potential profit that don't come with massive prize tags. If you're in a situation where you have to risk a game over to remain in contention then I agree, but that is not even close to being the case here. We're talking about minor settling efficiencies.
