" dont think we are even scraping the surface when it comes to electrical motor efficiency"

It's not uncommon for electric motors to be well over 90% efficient, and approach 95% or better within their ideal RPM range.

Windings are just part of the design; there's the lamination of the rotor and its materials, and the arrangement of the magnets (for example, halbach arrays.)
