Unless you are insanely talented cover 1 will get you cooked. The 3 high shell that morphs into Tampa-2 seems pretty effective
You mix it up the entire game.
You don't play 2 or 3 coverages the entire game. You play over a dozen, over 20, with disguises and post snap shifts
You make the QB read most everything on the run

Exactly. I don't think people really understand how hard a QB's job is. All the concepts are so versatile now it's not as easy as "oh its cover 4 I'll just throw to the weakside flat" and boom its palms and the corner squats and pick 6's it and changes the game.

3-4 base, cover 0

All depends on personnel and matchup. All things equal, would lean cover 3 to try to eliminate explosives. If the defense has a decided advantage on the LOS, I prefer the aggressiveness of cover 1.

With superior athletes, cover 1.
Press the box and force O to be uncomfortable
Talent-equated or inferior talent? I’m going cover 3. Death by 1000 cuts, perhaps. But make the O string together sustained drives
Right about the inferior talent, but with like and superior athletes I'd mix them. Even with superior athletes, if you run that cover 1 all it takes is one missed assignment or tackle and that's it.
