Am I missing something? This looks like a really bad trade off for a 1:10 ratio... They don't seem to reap richer rewards as the descriptions say.

Oh, they definitely DO reward more richly than normal leves!
...All 1.5-2x the reward for 10x the cost.
I did one to test if it was really this bad. To be frank, I'll never touch them again. They're terrible.
That said, I imagine they're for people who can't be arsed to use their allowances normally on account of it being grindy. Doing 4-5 10-allowance-cost leves a week for their meager rewards is still better than not doing leves at all.
Still, most of them also take nearly twice as long as normal leves. At that point, I might as well just DO two normal leves and save myself 8 allowances. The rewards for these leves need to be equal to AT LEAST 5 normal levequests, maybe even up toward 8x the normal rewards. Otherwise, they have no real purpose.
Ya I did a few temple leves and was left wondering why they cost 10 allowances for the small gain in rewards. The only reason I could see is the treasure chests on temple leves have 5 amber vilekin in them. You can buy level 52+ jewelry with 5 of those. Anyone know how many amber vilekin are in the chests for normal leves?
The tutorial made it sound like they only came from temple leve chests.Ya I did a few temple leves and was left wondering why they cost 10 allowances for the small gain in rewards.

It's been a while, but I just wanted to bump this saying that I have found Amber Vilekin in normal Battlecraft Leves. They only appear in the blue treasure chests (the ones that are "rare" and, at lower levels, gave out equipment) and are given at a rate of 1 per chest.
Unless the rate of chest spawning is drastically higher in the 10-costs than the normal leves, then it's still more efficient to just spam normal leves for these as well.
It's a tradeoff really. Temples give more EXP for the time you spend but you lose allowances compared to singles/less item rewards. Singles give more exp per allowance but take you longer to do them all. (100 singles vs 10 temples) I think it's just for people that don't care about their allowances/hate doing leves or people who don't have a lot of time to play.
Both singles and temples give the amber for the accessories, but single leves give 1 per box and temples give 5 per box. The spawn rate on the chest isn't very high in temples, took around 5 attempts for a chest to spawn. Small sample size though.

Also keep in mind these leves can easily take longer than the 5 minutes you have to get the fast completion bonus, so you are missing a lot of exp.
They're good for people like me that don't really like to use their leves allowances often. Mine just usually sit unused for months before I blow a handful of them to grab a quick level and get bored and repeat.
Would like to see them boosted a tiny bit either way, though.
