Mirror spheres? What about two opposing mirrors as used for infinite
tunnel SFX? Or 20 layers of glass?

3) Use a method that stops when the contributed results are below a
given level. IE, they become near non important.
BTW, looking at your images, I see they suffer some serious banding,
any idea about how to workaround that?
