Certainly. Hmm, I don't want to get bogged down in the specifics of implementation yet, particularly as I don't know enough about what other people have already tried.

I'm reasonably familiar with the 'standard game' and TDM-modpack (probably ~50 games total), and it seems like most people discuss and make changes in proportion to that. Becoming familiar with, say, how DevNull or Derek's mod alters these balances will take a bit of time and a few games, not that there is anything wrong with having to play a 'few' games of SEIV. :-)

So the resource converter is not out of the question or unbalancing.

The Stars! resource gathering will not work in SEIV style.

Yes. I suspect you're also cautioning me indirectly to learn the difference between feasible ideas (ie, ones which do not require modifications to the game engine or hard-coded functionality) and ideas which are non-feasible short of divine intervention from Aaron. Well, that's certainly good advice.
