Without sitting on idle builders. Care to share your opinion?
This, unfortunately, is very true. Somebody calculated that it takes less time to max your walls if you do two a day.
I think they at balanced the research time before DE. It isn't hard to max lixir troops in time.
some upgrades aren't important
i went to th9 on my 2nd account without upping golem / valk / minions
I recommend you finish those upgrades at TH 9.
This is true. At town hall 8 it would take you approx 97 days with 4 builders and research( including lab upgrade time) is 147 days.
While town hall 9 would take around 155 days for research and 163 days with 4 builder's
town hall 7,8 and 10 all have more research then upgrade time
This shows total upgrade time for each builder but if research takes longer it will show that number instead.

Honestly who cares about idle builders. The game is going to take forever regardless. The only question in your mind should be, "is the loot penalty and loot situation at the next town hall worth me not maxing out my current base?" I'm a the and have 3-4 idle builders always, doing walls and heroes, always one hero down upgrading, sometimes 2. The idle builders don't phase me one bit as th10 isn't worth the pain of farming lava walls at.
I maxed every building and trap for TH10 after a year of playing. I am getting through my lavas now after a year and 4 months of playing and I'm still a long long way from finishing all my troop upgrades. They just take much longer to do I'm afraid (unless your slow at farming resources for buildings).
