- The AI will send colony ship after colony ship to planets they won't reach alive or within reasonable time and at the same time ignore nearer empty planets (due to lower values).

The first point is worse than that. After switching sides to a near defeat enemy I chucked troops on almost every world to calm the riots and make the jubilant. After a while I swapped back to the original side. A while later I swapped back again (what can I say, for some reason I really wanted to prolong that game
) and most of the troops had vanished and half the empire was rioting. Again.
The endless colony ships is somehow worse, streams of colony ships will continue to try and colonise unreachable systems. Its worse in say STM where supplies are tighter as the colony ships will run out of supplies and slowly limp through your space trying to reach an already colonised planet.
Having said all that the AI, especially TDM, can be a challenge if you steer clear of gamey tactics, fight strategically and don't maxi-min your empire.
