Excellent points.
To me, the only question is whether Beatty misused his battlecruisers or whether they were fatally flawed to begin with: whether their speed advantage was really worth anything. And whether the result would be a total British victory rather that just a strategic one.
As for the overall point, success breeds overconfidence, which breeds failure, and so on.
