Your assumptions are related to your own experiences… (If it were me, I'd say 3x3 is more than enough for all the US-ASCII.) 4 x-height is OK (on average, perhaps), but since you destroyed the lowercase set rule of size ('3.5 x-h'…), I'd say you 3x4 uppercase is quite readable. There exist alternatives to your set of numerics (in both dimensions), so that you don't waste the matrix anymore (esp. in many symbols, where your compression is poor). In 2015, many designs (3x4-based) were more advanced already, on FontStruct.
