The comment -- and again I realize the files (more PDF than docx) might be atypical -- but WinRar 5 created it much faster with the same size as 7z and slightly smaller than zipx.

thats because those are already compressed files, so doesnt really matter that much what are we compressing them with.. for trully compressible files, rar is not as strong.
i assume that rar.exe does not automatically create rar 5.x archives for compatibility reasons... usually we all leave defaults alone when it comes to console tools, since it is important for administrators to be able to simply update application and nothing should change if they dont change the script themselves.
Checking their help for you, i think you should add -ma5 to each line and it will be created in RAR5 format.
