So really is the problem politics, or the complexities that face governance? How does the final paragraph differ in an enlighten monarchy,or oligarchy,or anything else other than true 'pure' democracy?
The last sentence seems to be the entire point of republicanism. So that ordinary people do not have to deal with the burden of these decisions every day.
I really don't think 'inefficient' is the right word there. Nor do I think 'politics' to be right word. Your points all point to the limitations and complexities of governance rather than any 'inefficiency'.
There are plenty of sources of inefficiencies within specific implementations of governance and the politics that formed around it. But those are separate from just the sheer difficulties that you pointed out.
