Absolutely Rollo, this is feasible as long as it is understood that any time an Enemy enters your AI’s Territory that it will now Subscribe to this non-default AI State := Defend (Short Term), Infrastructure
Un till that enemy is cleared... (snip)

exactly, and this is the whole reason behind it. Since it is very common that some enemy ship is nearby (be it some scout or even colony ship) I like the AI to just follow the 'main plan'.
In regards to Defend (Long Term), I cannot recall seeing an AI in this state once. It is rare to say the least.

And (may not reset) to Entry 1 of the non-defaulted and combined Infrastructure State; after the AI has cleared the Enemy and is directed to resume the Infrastructure State. Because in that layout, it is already producing in that State

Not sure what you mean by that '(may not reset)', since the AI will work it's way down the queue starting with entry 1 every turn.
