I am less in axioms and more interested in your experimental

I'm not sure what you're looking for here.

I'd give an example.
You said that some of the variants had 4x differences between cases.
From my perspective, if you found a hash function that performs up to 3
times better* than "crypto-alike" hash in majority of tests and is 1.33x
worse that "crypto-alike" in few other tests, it's something that I'd
consider as valuable option.

* - i.e. produces 3x less collisions at, say, occupation ratio of 0.7
