In my opinion, back when microwave activity was low and sections were multipliers the bonuses were valid.  If bonus points per QSO are still valid with grid squares, are the current values the best numbers?

IMO yes.  As I noted in another post, I've spent 20-30 minutes trying to 
make one microwave QSO.  They are much more difficult than say 432 MHz 
for the same distance.
