Markus,
All I can contribute is, when the primary mirror starts to dew up it means it's time for bed. A hairdryer poked in the tube only gets you another 5 minutes before it dews up again, so I don't bother now I just shut it all down.
But everything that you described is correct.
Cheers
Bill
Edit: The dew heaters are not really hot enough to give thermal instability, only enough heat to just get over the dew point.
