Should I have wasted so much clock time on this recube decision?

It depends on what you did with your time; if you were evaluating your opponent, that would make sense to me. if you want to make calculations, OK, but that is not how I'd do it OTB.

White can win this as a prime vs prime and as an acepoint game. You have some immediate anti-jokers, of which 33 is the worst. This sums up to Blue having a relatively modest advantage in GWC, and a big advantage in gammon wins. If you recube now, you produce overage on your gammons, and give your opponent the opportunity to kill them, which likely would happen more than half of the time. Also, as things stand, you win completely efficient BGs, which you'd kill by recubing. So technically it looks like a ND and a take.
