I feel that the best outcome for this proposal is to keep gold efficiency, but make it clear in sections that include it that it is not necessarily a useful measure for determining which item you should buy

Thanks for joining in! The idea of a disclaimer would work if we're seriously concerned about users misinterpreting cost analyses, but I don't feel like it's entirely necessary since (a) we can't measure how many users are misinterpreting the data, and it's likely that the importance of this issue has been blown out of proportion on this thread, and (b) ultimately, users misinterpreting data is a user problem and not a wiki problem, so it should not be on us to add a disclaimer when a quick read of the gold value/efficiency tooltip would inform readers just as well.

I do, however, feel like the cost analysis sections would benefit from being collapsible. A few users here have complained of the space taken by the sections or that they simply don't want to see them, so giving cost analyses the "additional info" treatment would allow the sections to be as long as they need to be without bothering certain users or taking any additional space.
