I'd rather modify the AI research than the monolith's production. Hell, if you're going to change anything, reduce the production of the single-resource facilities before you increase the production of the monolith. It's already an abusively powerful harvesting unit, especially once those robominer facilities show up.
Making things more powerful should always be the LAST option when finding a solution to a problem.
