I think that you are right. That's not deep enough for much if any aero advantage.

That's not insignificant with respect to how the bike's handling feels. I have upgraded cheap stock wheels to lighter budget wheels and had no regrets.

You might also check if you can get some lighter, faster rolling tires if you're still using whatever came with the bike.
