Not saying it's a bad idea, but I'd want to make sure it actually did something worthwhile before adding it.

Can't say you're wrong on item 1, I've faced some undesired events here, although my method is different from NRW and quite unique, since I use additional fuel hoses and all events were hose-related. My fault on all of them.
Item 2 I see a little different, because your ballparking can be the totality of every other car in the world.
They all have similar change intervals, never more than 20.000km, never less then 10.000km. They all stand the risk of contaminants during the change, probably calculated as "irrelevant", otherwise there would be much to be told about "fuel filter change procedure", but instead it's just a plug and play service.
I've changed my method a little because of something I discovered, I'll detail in next post.
