Main question summed up is how much time is it possible to lose? If you have one of those expensive ships, is it really possible to lose all that time and effort?

It's divided up a bit.
You can insure your ship for up to it's worth in the pieces that are used to make it (The ore and stuff). If your ship is des troyed you lose what's in it and what's on it (weapons, items, any parts you've hooked up to it like cargo expanders, armor, etc.) That's not insured.
When your ship is destroyed you're floating through space in a pod, which can be destroyed and if you're killed by a real ass hole chances are it will be, which is why you invest in clones. These clones save X amount of skill points for you which if you die without a clone you're up shit creek and have to start completely over. Clones cost money, the more skill points attached to your clone the more money it costs for you to have.
If you lose your ship or your clone, you could lose a LOT of time and effort, or you can lose just money and a little time. Depends on how updated your insurance and all that is.
