This is the key observation - hitting breakpoints in efficiency that let us remove active cooling, silicon area or heatsinks reduce weight, cost & complexity.

Yep. High efficiency is also the key to the crazy high performance we see in high end EVs these days. Going from 96% to 98% drivetrain efficiency only gives you 2% more battery life but it doubles your power output.
