It relies on elmore delay which is less accurate. It makes no mention of Ceff so I don't know if they just assume it is a second order effect or...
This methodology is ok, the proof is in the results.
We could sort by clock status then by name. The by name was to make the results more stable across any db reordering.

Layer assignment is done at the very end after the 2d routing is over. It is a different task to make that timing aware. I'm less clear that handling timing...

is src/grt/test/critical_nets_percentage.v needed anymore?
We already drop small objects when rendering unless you have 'detailed view' turned on. I guess you have it on if you see pin labels taking that long. The layout...
