I think this is a good point. Honestly i dont even know that you need to survive that long to assure the win vs ai, if you can handle the boring grind to your victory condition. Every culture game i've won has been a choice at a later point rather than an aim at the beginning though so perhaps I"m not doing it right.
I work a little differently than most for peaceful culture. I aim to have 10 cities of size 4 to 8 or so by the end of the game. Each city is responsible for 2 districts.
2 or 3 early cities will build campuses first (assuming you have decent adjacency bonus opportunities) then theater. 2 is nice in any case for the recorded history and printing boosts and a 3rd can get science up fast enough to get to needed techs early. 2 of these campuses will get libraries and universities (and the 3rd might eventually if it has free production before all theater options come available)
The first 3 to 5 cities not building campuses are responsible for commercial or harbor first and then theater. You should have 4 trade routes up in time to boost medieval faires and 2 marketplaces soon after for guilds.
Any remaining cities (or late cities founded for trade route purposes) get theater first and possibility theater only. You eventually want 7 trade routes (1 for each civ) available, but a couple can come from merchant republic or you can build some more harbors or commercial districts after the archaeologists are built in these remaining cities.
I don't bother with any wonders, including cristo and eiffel, though I recognize the tremendous value in both. I just plan to win before these become much of a factor.
The only thing I might do a little different with Gorgo from my vanilla cultural start is limit myself to 3 commercial hubs/harbors early so I can prioritize half-price acropolises in a couple more cities and build more commercial/harbors post-theaters. But I would still build commercial/harbor first in 3 cities as I want the medieval faires inspiration and I will get to medieval faires very quickly as Rome and Greece are the fastest 2 civs through the early part of the civics tree.
