We're pretty similar in terms of the parameters you laid out. I have a SWR of around 2.5% and have about 56x expenses for a (hopefully) 40+ year plan (I am 54 now).
But one thing those of use ERs need to include in the equation, and I'm not sure if there is a good formula for it, is how to include future expected payouts I often describe as my "reinforcements." My IRA (which I can't access in an unfettered manner) is already part of my SWR because I have included its value in my NW (if I exclude my IRA, the SWR rises to about 3.7%). But I have a frozen company pension and SS available to me in 8-13 years from now, both of which will put downward pressure on my SWR.
Good point.. I will get no pension and I assume no SS because it is just too far out in time. When SS benefits become more clear (age 62?) I will probably add it into my plan which will lower my WR if I do not spend more money. We need an Eisenstein in the ER group to develop a unified ER equation that tell us were we sit on the curve
