RE: The load teh MC should see should be at least 10 times it's own coil impedance.

The resistor that participates in the Miller effect is not the grid-to-ground resistor, when the stage is driven from a lower impedance.
Instead, it is the source impedance, which in this example is scaled up by N^2 from the output impedance of the cartridge. If we are designing for >10x coil impedance as a load, then the Miller resistance is <0.1x the physical load resistor (grid-to-ground).
For a MM cartridge, this source impedance can be inductive at high frequencies, which can make for interesting interactions with the grid-plate capacitance.
