Mustang: I've flown it a few times, but am not rated. I know a bunch of owners, and they love(d) it. Many of them moved up to the M2 or CJ3, but still speak highly of the Mustang.

Having flown primarily single-pilot, except for a year in a King Air 350, and 2 years in the airlines, I disagree with your assessment. I don't want to type a novel, but single-pilot is not inherently less safe.

As for owner operators, I know a ton of them. And the ones I know are very passionate about it and work hard at it. I also know some that are single-pilot rated, but will hire an IP to fly with them when their proficiency is down, or going to a challenging location. These owners didn't get to the point of owning a jet because they are stupid and lazy. They make very smart decisions.

And you are mentioned the accident rate of single pilot jets: it is very, very low. The Citation fleet is probably the bulk of that category, along with Phenoms and Eclipses.

Although you specified jets, if you consider single-pilot turbines, like the TBM and Meridians, the accident rate for them appears to be much higher. But this is apples and oranges as compared to the jet fleet.

For the record, I am a HUGE fan of single-pilot jets.
