I think that's true of many of the TSR-era modules: the assumption that the PCs will only find a percentage of the available treasure...

This is an interesting idea, if one has the right group of players. It would probably help if all those players had at least enough...

Of my current group of four, two are forever-players (I'm married to one of them!) and two are or have been DMs. I've seen more of a...

More or less, yes, assuming a game with any degree of risk or danger to its characters (i.e. loss conditions). The players and GM are...
