Very complete and helpful guide. Though I would add something you haven't even considered: 500 max speed is definitely not necessary in my opinion, you can do perfectly fine with 470-480, in fact, you almost sprint at the same speed while having a significantly larger pool of stamina. I have a 470 max speed 500 endurance, 500 stamina chocobo with head start and choco cure III and I can take a double bachus wine to the face in sagolii and still get to the line sprinting the entire race without ever getting lathered (and without grabbing a single choco potion/stamina tablet/hero's tonic). For obvious reasons, not maxing max speed is also more viable in Costa del Sol and Tranquil Paths. At 500 max speed stamina drain items hurt you far more (wines, meteors, even the occasional caltrop) and you can't sprint the entire race in Costa and Tranquil . But I guess it's all a matter of opinion <.<.
