Are those sky-high combines reason for pause?

Yes.

Not in the slightest. Reason for cursing on a failure? Sure. =)

Um, I know this is a loaded question, but how likely is failure? Or rather, what is
necessary to minimize the chance of failure? Are all items lost when a combine fails?

Short answer is yes, the augs are a major PITA.

Maybe the RNG just hates me, but I had a horrible failure rate on them
in spite of my tradeskills being as high as they possibly could be, and
having the appropriate trophy equipped for the small skill mod. This was
before the tradeskill caps were raised, mind you, so it might not be
quite as painful now.

The chance of failure depends on the "trivial level" you showed,
and your tradeskill level. You can increase the latter by training
on cheaper stuff, though getting it past 200 generally takes a lot
of effort. You can also get a Geerlok for that tradeskill, which
will add 5% to your skill (e.g., turning 240 into 252 skill).

There are formulas known (or at least educatedly guessed) for the
chance of success; you should poke around www.eqtraders.com for
details.

Your chance of improving your skill through practice depends on
(a) whether you succeed or fail on the practice item and (b) the
higher of WIS or INT. (Some tradeskills can also use STR or DEX
if higher, but not the tradeskills you're looking at.) But WIS/INT
does not have any effect on whether you succeed or failure.

Find someone with 300 Alchemy or Poisonmaking, and the best tradeskill
enhancement item for that skill (probably alchemy, with the pouch off the
alchemist in Grieg's End), make sure they have Salvage 3 and alchemy or
poison master 3. Do the same for the blacksmithing part, 300 smithing, +
15% mod item, and salvage 3 and smithing mastery 3, and the same for the
JC part, 300 JC, +5% (I don't know of better) item, and salvage 3 and JC
mastery 3.

That will give you the best chance at success. The odds are still not
great with that many combines at high levels, depending on what is
returned by a failure. For the final combine, I know the gem is not
normally returned, having failed a lower level one for someone.

Tradeskill caps are now 300 keep in mind, not 252 (modified). Also, as I
stated in my earlier post, make sure the people in question have the
relevant tradeskill AAs Mastery 3, and Salvage 3. Salvage gives a chance
of recovering components even on a failed combine. Salvage 1 has already
saved me over 30k plat.
