Given the limited history of actual conversational usage of lojban, I
don't agree. Come to the IRC channel some time, where actual
conversations occur in lojban in real time. You won't see many lujvo,
I'll tell you that right now.

And this is relevant to the issue of good lujvo exactly how? If there aren't many, then the test has not been applied much -- and people have not developed much skill in forming them on the fly. Point?

I'm not sure I have a good answer to that, beyond the fact that I don't
see even a "blanu zdani" == "I had a dog that once got covered in blue
paint when I lived in that house" type of connection between "ralju
cukta" and "the world wide web".
>>
Oh, by this time, with all the discussion, {ralju cukta} is a lot closer to "the Web" than any of those remote kind of {blanu zdani} cases except "a house colored blue." This does not mean that there may not be insurmountable arguments against this usage, but it is no longer a stretch. By the way, it is this retrospective plausibility that makes good lujvo -- once you get it, it feels right.
