So my question is: has anyone made a profile that has been able to produce good neutral black and white images?
Many. On a good printer/paper/ink combination, the entire ramp is less than one a*/b* point from zero. Since you never mention what printer, inks, or media you are using, its difficult to respond with suggestions.
>>When I created the profile with the extended grays target, the time taken to calculate the profile was virtually identical to the time required to produce the profile without the extended grays.
That would be correct. Its only with a custom gray inkset that the software takes longer to calculate the "color" gamut, given that there isn't really one...
