Not even close.
I suppose, from research, if you're exclusively playing the transfer the points for free trips to Europe/Hawaii/Asia game its worth it. But I'm guessing 90% of Chase people aren't doing this and could be better off with barclay

Which cards are best for redeeming against Uber fees?

I think Chase counts Uber as travel and 2x pts
Transferring Chase points to United to fly Lufthansa is the only way to go. Anything else is dumb.
The reserve being 3x?

Meh. LH business is not worth the miles premium that United charges over its own business tickets.
And economy is economy.
Well thats the kicker. You get 1.5x points redeeming through their portal, but how does their portal compare to Expedia?

They do fine on the routine things, although not as well as the Sapphire folks do, who pick up on the first ring (no menus, no hold time) and are always 100 percent understandable (not to be an OWG...).
But that just means they have adequate staffing and baseline training. Whoopie.
When it comes to the extreme situation, or at least my extreme situation, they have been awful. Customer service told me false information (do not assume that a corporate card has rental car coverage and do not assume that customer service is qualified to tell you if it does or not), but has shown no willingness to go to bat for me. Meanwhile, the rental claims group is either lying to me or, at this point, willfully ignoring what I am saying and, in the process, implying that I am lying and that I doctored phone records. Seriously, their assertion is that I have never called customer service throughout this ordeal! Thank god that I didn't really damage that rental car and Hertz just stuck me with a bill for absolutely unnoticeable damage that was there when I picked up the car, otherwise I might be out 20k, instead of just 2k (Hertz is also on my naughty list).
So I don't care about benchmarking surveys. In customer service, anecdotes are actually really important because they show what happens when people are pushed outside of the protocol. Amex has failed miserably, and I will tell everyone who will listen about it.
Check your own auto policy. I think mine has standard coverage for rental cars.
If you have property coverage (comp/collision) on your auto policy, then it should cover damage to a rental. You will have to cover your deductible, and it likely won't cover any sort of trumped up "loss of use" charge the rental company may throw at you, but it should cover the basic damage to the car.
