Even 50% efficient isn't possible. So going beyond that is already fully into superscience. But dials for plausible, technically possible, order of magnitude superscience, and gonzo technobabble superscience is always a good idea, IMO too.

I always assumed antimatter production is for when energy is free and needs to be "moved". Though really for when no other fuel would work. Such as for superscience drives or realistic drives where performance is needed and money is no object... like some military vehicles.
