.... to stand outside a vault and banish a bulk of the extraneous critters, before entering and teleporting the nasties and uniques, to plunder said vault of whatever scraps remain?

I mean, the game allows you to do so, so, uh, not wrong, according to the game. In other variants, such as O, the game believes you should not, and prevents you from doing so. -
Abuse of banish/mass-banish is extremely common for high-level mages; it's more or less your reward for surviving that long.
For everyone else, it's a sometimes-difficult decision of using up limited consumables vs. having to actually fight the monsters.Comment

Just because it's common doesn't mean it's morally acceptable. And said plunder got squat doodle. About a break-even prospect. Tracked down the teleported uniques,though, and bagged two CON potions plus a *heal* so no loss of anything amazing.
But can someone tell me why high-level priest books have kept on showing up since DL long-time-ago, but not the mage equivalent?Comment

If the devs don't want you to do something, they have ways of encouraging you to not do it, such as making it impossible, unrewarding, or simply tedious. What's left in the game is tacitly accepted, so "officially OK" to the extent the devs are official anything. In short, it's all up to you whether or not you take advantage of it.Comment

“We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see.”

That sounds plausible. I was already going to ask whether the "movement tricks" as described by donalde are generally considered exploits or tactics. Your post has answered the question for me.
Just you wait, summoner uniques!
