I see the similarities for Klingons and Borg, but I don't see much similarity between Vulcans and elves beyond the pointy ears. Vulcans are more like androids: logical and outwardly emotionless, but not necessarily wise. The human captain (e.g. Kirk) tends to figure out a winning solution despite the resident Vulcan often complaining it isn't logical.
That doesn't detract from your point.
