Your list makes a lot of sense. It would be much easier to learn to cook with a TMX than with a whole kitchen I reckon, otoh you're a bit distanced from the food while it's cooking so can't get a feel for textures. Dunno, it's a while since I learned to cook :)
I'm not entirely sure I fit in any of those. I'm a mix of 1 and 3. It's not that I minded cooking, I just didn't have much time for it. I've become a lot more adventurous about what I'll cook since I got mine though. The only real reason I don't use it more is because there's only me to feed most of the time.
I reckon I'd slightly re-phrase that 3rd category [edit: i'm just using different examples, the main concept still holds] as "tmx can do useful tasks that are really boring and annoying." For example, cook a batch of polenta (i'd like this to be a staple food, but it needs constant stirring for 20-30 mins). Or maybe chopping & sauteing onions - for curry or bolognaise sauce, you need a LOT of onion. Stuff like that.
I guess it depends on what kind of food you cook, whether there are tasks like that which the TMX might be useful for.
Yes - although I think these days if you are someone who is cooking bolognaise sauce from scratch rather than using a jar of sauce plus mince then you are actually a 'keen cook'. I think the group three - keen cooks- are also the ones who use the thermomix in the way you describe. A helpful appliance that here and there is very good at dealing with boring kitchen jobs.

Once the full time work stops (2 weeks to go) then you must come around and have a look.
