I agree that counter-claiming sovereignty is far from a peaceful act. I also tend to agree with Ulysseus that in my mind ideally it would not provoke an all-out war between alliances but hopefully a limited conflict over the particular square. That's just my idea of what would be "most fun" though, and not based on some sense of what's "right" or "wrong." And of course different people have different ideas of fun.

If I claim a sov that is 60 tiles away, is it really mine? (pun intended - hey, I'm a dwarf)

If you can afford the claim it is your claim, yes, and others are free to respect it as your claim as they see fit. But if you have good reasons to claim it, you should have better reasons to occupy it with a serious army, and then I'd wonder why you bother to claim it, instead of only occupying it.

I'm looking at what the community thinks since this is become a larger issue.

Each confederation without access to silversteel is dead, they can as well play it out this year, extending the agony into next year hoping for some dev intervention is futile.

Silversteel items arent the best crafted items. On any terrain, Silversteel spear give 10% attack bonus and Silversteel armour give 8% attack bonus, while the terrain specific gears give 12% each.

Silversteel items also require elemental salts to craft, which is again not very cheap. Since you always know what terrain you are sending your troops to, you could rely on a good collection of terrain specific gears.

One thing that is exceptionally good is Silversteel swords. Dwarves will find good use for this. Of other races, i'm not sure swordsmen are the best units to equip. (Consider trueshots with elven spirit bows that give +24% and vanguard leather armour that gives +20% attack - both crafted with much cheaper components.)

For me sov is nothing, nothing more than a flag, as an occupy force is , at a range greater than 10 it gives you no right at all. If in range of other cities it's actually an act of aggression and the owner should expect counterclaims or attacks on the camp.

Elven spirit is not 24%, but:

Out of Biomes: +12% attack +18 all def +5 speed (add 6 to all if daylight)

On Biomes: -6% attack (add 6 to all if daylight)

So basically useless on biomes and good out there...
