I can only answer part of it:

If you have your own session_save_path('/my/session/path') and make
sure no other application writes to the same one those sessions are
'safe' and in theory cou can have any session timeout you want. (same
argument, rephrased)

yes,
The reason for this is that the session garbage collector gets called
with a certain (configurable) probability that will remove any files
older than TTL in that directory - automagically invalidating any
session ids having been inactive - no file to validate against.

I can't confirm on having longer session timeouts as I didn't really
care / had the need to...
