I've always heard and went by 1 gram for 1 pound of weight.

The strength and conditioning coach at my school (it's D1) has been doing competitive powerlifting for most of his life - I think he's in his late 30's. Just last spring, I heard him speak as a guest speaker and he said 1 gram for 1 pound is the rule of thumb. He doesn't eat a lot of meat so most days he doesn't even get to that guideline. He writes for EliteFTS.com so I looked up some of his articles and bio. His max bench is 2.5 times his bodyweight and max deadlift is close to 4 times.

Even if less than 1 gram/pound isn't going to hurt 1 gram/kilo seems like it would be way too little, but that's just from my experience.

Everything else from you post i couldn't agree with more.
