I feel like it's ok to skip to optimizing the autonomous drone-killing drone.

You'll want those either way.

If entire wars could be fought by proxy with robots instead of humans, would that be better (or less bad) than the way wars are currently fought? I feel like it might be.

You're headed towards the Star Trek episode "A Taste of Armageddon". I'd also note, that people losing a war without suffering recognizable losses are less likely to surrender to the victor.
