Yes, but Proportions games take 100s and 100s of turns to play out. This is too many for general PBW use. It is fine with a small group of dedicated players, but takes too long when you just have a group of random players.

That depends on how you set up the game, and what kind of a game you want.

If you expect to start with a single low-tech planet, and populate the entire quadrant and reserarch everything in the tech tree until it's no longer fun to play without wiping out everyone else, like in the unmodded game, then yeah that would be hard to do in the time span of a typical unmodded game. Of course.

If you want to have an intense war in a couple-hundred turns, use a small quadrant (or an edited maps where the homeworlds start out within a system or two of each other), and/or use multiple homeworlds per player.

Or, turn blitz/autorun for the first 150+ turns, then let the game start.

Etc.
