As long as you don't cheap out with batteries, the good ones should last you at least a couple years. The current draw required to keep the ram backed up is minimal. If you really wanted to protect your games from leaky batteries you could always use Lithium AA instead of the standard Ni-Cad.

My guess is a lot of the parts they needed to use to pull this off are just not available in T/H. The other reason for going SMT on as much as possible is vibration. Where the majority of the PCB's are mounted to the underside of the PF, vibration is going to be THE biggest enemy this game...
The wattage will be minimal with that pot, like 1/4 to max 1/2 Watt. And based on those numbers it could be a 36K or a 22 Ohm, not sure where you're getting the 200 Ohm from?
