I can live with that. TL8 anything is going to be painfully inefficient. Mass drivers are by their nature horrible at everything unless you have free mass and really long term power.

I don't expect TPTB to ever clearly state it, but I still like having a ballpark figure for adding new house rule tech.
Unless anyone disagrees, I'm going to steal the 50 kW/ton guideline.
