That's right, but the general public's view is 100% wrong on the survivability issue. That's why I felt the need to jump in on this thread, because I think a lot of people would be surprised to find that they survive much longer with RUb than they would in the standard game.
On scoring tonnage, RUb does make getting a really high score quite difficult, but only because it reduces the numbers of ships the player is likely to encounter. The mechanics of sinking a ship are pretty much unchanged, so it's technically not more difficult (although if you're using the deck gun it will take longer) to sink ships - just more challenging in terms of the search for targets.

I suspect it is okay to make the simplification that RUb in general makes SHIII a bit harder to succeed in.

That's an accurate statement. I like to think of it as 'more challenging' rather than 'more difficult', but that's just the salesman in me.
