No, it is not enough, at least not in my opinion. Please let me clarify:

The probability to get stuff out of an empty mine is 5%.

In case of Empire's marble mine (and some other mines), mining must be successful twice in a row, before the worker can gain experience. Five percent squared is two and half per mill or 1/400.

In practice, if the player has an empty mine lacks, say, five experience points, he needs to deliver 2000 wine bottles and rations to the mine before upgrading. That is a really long wait. In my opinion, this makes the wait time tolerable while keeping it annoying.
