Yes, perhaps my words sound too strong but I would like the people to show real, documented advantage of Thunderbolt. As yet we are discussing myths.
Have to get through the data you posted, will let you know what I think tomorrow.

In 1942, 36 Spitfires were under investigation for structural failures and in 24 cases the tail unit broke off in flight. By 1944, the Spitfire was often used as a fighter-bomber and another hazard was found in that the engine mounting U-frames would buckle in dive pullouts.
What is the source of your information?
