Robust Luger action? High ejection?

Nope, not even close, 1911 ejected not more than 2-3 feet in the air.

Physics suggests that the faster the slide or toggle moves backwards, the more aggressively it would kick out shells.

Literature suggests that the rearward slide speed should be not more than 12f/s to be safe for a shooter and a gun.

Literature suggests Luger’s action is very fast( thus needing a stiff magazine spring to keep up)

But how fast is fast... and safe? Do the Luger tail slap marks reflect too aggressive action?
