I do it every game as brits in all matchups
I think it might be better because the first batch is the toughest to make while using vills to gather the wood crates and make the manor houses will make it harder.
yea also cav gives you alot of control over the early game stopping your opponent from running your vills around.
No. Though that will not always be the case and it depends on crate starts, 500f vs 200g age up, treasures, age up time, a potential delay in queuing, etc.
But you will not get 5/5/5 after 700w but you will with 5v and that is where the strength of the build comes from.
Ya it's really hard to keep cav from getting a villager with infantry because of the speed difference. This is a huge headache when the person raiding has a higher skill then the standard player. Infantry start can be better if you have enough of them to scare away cav altogether though when harassing becomes less desirable.
I know I am a little late but I think you can still get 10 musk out on first batch with 700w first+tower. You have to do market start for it to work and 3 manors in transition. At least I think I have done this before. You might have to do gangsaw but I am unsure.

nah you can't make two raxes, age with tower and do market/manors and get 10 musks out. You'll maybe get 6-7.
its really hard, you have to chop 200 extra wood for house which is about 3 musk (im guessing) and considering brits get 5 cav not with such an ease when they go 700w first, they would probably get 7 or 8 musks out (musk cost food)
Yeah, I experimented a bit with 5v first and 2 raxes and it just felt awkward as you have to chop so much wood in transition (200 more than with a stable start), although to be fair that could work on 300w start, which unfortunately I was not lucky enough to get yet
