Have you got the various loss terms in analytical (or

Efficiency is 1 minus the sum of all ineffiencies (loss
terms). Conduction loss in each switch for its duty
factor, which in turn follows step-down ratio; switching
losses which depend on frequency, VIN and VOUT; (...)

If first case You have to interest with switching algorithm optimisation, If second, probably You have some stupid leakage on switches.

If this is 3GHz continuous / balanced (-ish) switching
then it could be as simple as a blocking cap and a bias
resistor network on the other side. Zero delay and trivial
loss are upsides, the need for some preamble period for
the bias network to stabilize could be an application
issue.
Does it really need anything more elaborate, and if so,
why?

Capture time increases as SNR decreases among other design factors, so predicting when locked when switching often requires a lock detector.
If signal drops out due to fading loss, lock detector is needed. If using simple PLL synthesis with clean signals, it may not be needed except for fault detection reasons.

That would depend a lot on what kind of chop rate you

The isolated outputs are 5V/50mA and 12V/500mA.
In this case it is reasonably efficient to drop the 12V to 5V using a linear regulating IC. Your power loss is 350 mW (7 x .05), which will not generate extreme heat.
To isolate the 12V, it can come from a transformer-based switching power supply.
