Does anyone else seem to spend 50x more time deleting characters like ", } and ) which their IDE inserts automatically, than they save not having to type them on the fewer occasions they get inserted in the right place? Or is it just me?

That’s both awesome and annoying - it depends.
I think it needs to do exactly what you intended >95% of the time, otherwise you'll always be thinking that you need to check. No idea whether that is possible or not.

I wonder what that threshold actually is. Is getting it wrong 1% of the time actually too annoying - I tend to notice the annoying things and exaggerate their significance. Eg. Autocorrect. I thought it was getting it wrong too much so I turned it off. I was very wrong.

Yes, I think for most of these things there's an optimally-bad false-positive rate which is a function of the value of the optimisation and the cost of corrections. I think successful autocorrects are relatively higher value.
