In a more "realistic" setting, would equations like this be used?

Realistically, you'd run into routing issues which make all the math significantly more complex, and you'd probably be using an efficiency term rather than the x and y terms given above (total energy is thus equal to the integral of source density * efficiency).

You'd probably also discover that the efficiency equation is some form of exponential decay, not linear decay. Using a flat density D, the most likely formula is that eff(r) = e^(-1*r*l), where l is the loss (relative to total resource transported) per unit distance. I don't happen to recall how to solve that.
