There is still a lot more. Some other factors include

i) size of market losers as well as how many.

ii) nature of volatility in upcoming rolls. (for example attacking a holding game is effectively more volatile than a next sequence analysis would indicate due to the repeating nature of the situation)

iii) Cube effectiveness of opponent. For example playing a holding game way down in a race with a prime ready is low cube effectiveness since you won't be cubing unless you hit a shot and usually that is a huge market loser. Thus, the player attacking the holding game can cube earlier.

iv) If you veer away from the no backgammons assumption or from theoretical vs practical play there are still more.
