not 100% sure but what version of C4D? Can you Bake to Alembics? That would allow you to use the Alembic Time Remapping.
Dynamics has it’s own Time Scale in the Project settings but I don’t know if that would be correct with dynamics combined with IK.
Otherwise this looks interesting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8I3i60pEhw

it’s connected to the GI, check out the Help Global Illumination/Tips and tricks/GI and Animation (partway down the Tips and Tricks page) that has a bunch of hints and advise
Not much to go on. Sharing the file is kind of out, so what do you mean by “lots of clones”, are they Instances, Mograph clones or just many copies of an original?
How much detail is in the parts/objects that is unnecessary because it won’t be seen?
a quick search got this for refractions in AE but it looks like it might be a lot of work (just watched the first little bit and I’m not an AE guy so no real clue) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PRsOS4Urlc
In C4D you can put the video on a Background object which looks good but that won’t refract in transparency. But textures on a Sky will refract so you can put the texture on both and get the texture on the sky rotated around so it looks kind of right. It wouldn’t be perfect but it would give you something.

Not in a place to test but I would try to use xparticles dynamics and not mograph dynamics since they are separate systems, if it is all xparticles already it would be good to see the scene file
