Don't understand your note List-Id: require lots of time.
Now, to the substance of what you've said:
I'm not surprised this presents difficulties: funneling all incoming
mail into one mailbox means that...all incoming mail is in one mailbox.
Yes, and that is the most efficient way to perform full processing.
I'm a simple human being that can focus his mind and his eyesight
only on one single thing at a time, so everything has to be serialized
anyway, and no amount of slicing and dicing the stuff will reduce
the amount of processing -- but most of it will incur additional actions
to open it when it is not queued in a single inbox.
I'm simple human as well and I need processing most of e-mail on mobile
devices. Then prefixes in subject don't allow see subject on first sight.
What's more sorting into directories allowes download just required
messages and don't download lists which can wait.
And while it's still possible to sort, tag, and filter that mail easily
if you have a quality mail client [1] those tasks aren't as easy as
they could be if that mail was in separate mailboxes.
seperate mailboxes is OK for archiving, but it adds complexity and
costs additional time if the intention is to really process 95% of the
stuff (5% is junk that I delete without opening).
