I usually only ever grab 2-3 excavators and then extract from the mission. It's quicker to exit the mission and restart it than it is to stick around to the higher levels for the recurring drops (5+ excavators).

I have not personally experienced these issues, probably for that reason. I don't see the point in me sticking around past 3, and I only do 3 to stock up on void keys for ducat farming, usually its only an extra minute or two.

The rewards for the 4th excavator is never really worth it, you could make an argument for split chamber and serration, but even then there are easier ways of getting those.

Personally i think the rapid ramp up in difficulty makes sense the longer you stay and maybe you are right that it's not done correctly, but honestly it's easily avoided by just not sticking around for that long.
