The edges wear out on mine because I don't use my brakes, especially for cornering. Straight speed isn't fun for me, but I do like to go through a turn quickly.

Has it been shown that over-inflation has a negative impact on tire life? I believe the opposite is true, up to a certain amount of pressure. I hear what you are saying on point 2 also, but everything in life is a compromise. What may be within a comfortable safety margin for one person might be outside of that safety margin for another.
My advice is to try various pressures and see how it handles, sounds, and consumes fuel. Finding the balance of these things is up to the individual.
