Yeah, if the massive NX-class can have the same Maneuverability with the new impulse thrusters, the much lighter Stingray is going to become a space hot rod with them.
Practically a proto-Ushaan.

They were able to field a cloaked drone, which they used so that none of their people could be captured by the enemy and thus continuity maintained.

Actually, the video is edited. For plot reasons someone on the ship needed to detonate the warp core. The ship could have continued fighting if controls were rerouted.

If the thrusters are capable of at least vertical thrust vectoring then the dual thrusters would be able to make a Stingray roll where it seems like right now it just has yaw through differential thrust. Depending on where the center of mass is relative to the thrusters, thrust vectoring might also let it pitch. That would help maneuverability a lot though maybe it's not possible because it would end up pointing the thrusters at the nacelles.

I thought the drone wasn't cloaked, but had a hologram emitter network to make it appear like multiple different species' starships, to sow discord in the proto-Coalition when it started attacking ships?

Couple things. First is that the Enterprise proved that the government can flex resources in excess of our budget, so in the event of war we can likely upgun the Stingrays out of discretionary funds. Second is that we might want to think about making a cheapish freighter class based off the surplus warp drives and thrusters we just pulled out of them. We could probably bang out a five ship class for around ten industry.

Don't need more guns if the ship moves faster and slings nastier torps, and modernized engines let this thing have reach.

Yeah that's what it had according to the wiki, it was also controlled by telepathy apparently don't know how accurate memory alpha is. ( though Star Trek is sci-fantasy and does has psychic powers as a thing) .
Romulan drone ship
The Romulan drone ship was an advanced experimental starship described as a marauder and developed by the Romulans in the 2150s. At the time, this ship class was identified as a marauder ship by Starfleet. At least two prototypes of the vessel were built. The ship itself was a modified Romulan...

All in. It's still less expensive than the NX, but gets us very close in terms of firepower and we know the NX was good, but still somewhat primitive and underpowered from her retrospective.

In another episode, Enterprise is found by a Romulan Bird of Prey while trapped in a minefield, leading to a rather tense situation, and dialogue states that both the mines and the Romulan ships have cloaking devices.

Not really
I played all quest as the foaming at the mouth warhawk so I stay the course and advocate for more firepower.(Insert long rant about warships being better at fighting than freighters or Science ships.)

Wow, awfully irresponsible of the Romulans to keep uncloaking and re-cloaking in front of Enterprise like that. That's how you end up revealing how your cloaking device works. Haven't they heard of WARCON ECM settings?
Nah, it would cost 5. I clearly just typo'd it.

I should clarify I intended this with refits to make it more economical to advancing technology in mind. Refitting the defences away from polarized hull plating to shields doesn't strike me as a hugely more complex refit than redesigning it to host a secondary hull like what happened in canon.

I'm on the same boat as what looks to be most - better engines, and better torpedoes.
Agility of the Stingray makes even its lesser number of phase cannons still a respectable loadout and we don't want to burn too much industry into something that we're probably going to gum up a better version of a few years down the road.

Huh, so that would put the total cost of refit to 35, which is all but 1 of our annual industrial output.
How is this refit going to be anyway? Are we going to do it all in one year?
