if you don't recover the onside kick, game is basically done then and there.

I agree.

With 9 minutes left, you expect to get the ball back at least once, possibly twice if your defense makes a stand, other team screws up, turnovers, penalties, etc.

I would think your odds of success kicking deep with 9 minutes and change left are significantly better than an onside kick at that point (Not going to try to look it up; wouldn't even know where to start)
