But we know that the benefits of amino acids on satiety and muscle growth DO NOT occur until they go beyond this point. So while you would like to maximize effeciency, it is not everything.

True, so wouldn't this be important for people who are using whey as their primary protein source whilst cutting? During my recent cut, I was relying heavily on whey due to its caloric efficiency at raising MPS. Had I timed my carbs/fats properly with the whey, I would have maximized MPS while maintaining a calorie deficit.
