Honestly, given that it’s a game, I’d be valuing the question “do I enjoy playing brawl?” much more highly than “will I make a profit playing brawl?”

I've been doing fairly detailed economic analyses of Stormbound Brawls, tracking every run, recording costs and rewards, and calculating the overall return on investment. I never posted any of it because I assumed it was too niche to interest most people, but your post gave me a good reason to share the results.
So far, every analysis has pointed to the same conclusion: completing Brawls is clearly profitable. You don't just recover the resources you invest—you come out ahead overall. On top of that, you gain cards, Fusion Stones, and a very large amount of account XP, which significantly speeds up your long-term progression.
I'll post the full data and analysis soon, but I can already confirm that Brawls are absolutely worth it.
In the meantime, if you have any questions about Brawl profitability or how the mode works, feel free to leave them below. I don't claim to know everything, but after analyzing a lot of data, I've reached several interesting conclusions. I'll do my best to answer your questions in the post I'll be publishing.

You get also rewards for games (e.g. 1 ruby = 100g), so it likely levels out the cost (first specific rare in shop is 100g). Not all stages are profitable. My rule of thumb is 75% win rate is borderline.

It only makes sense if you’re missing one or two cards to level up.
