is the word "lucubrations" correct?

I see online dictionaries listing that word, but I never saw or heard it before. Maybe "speculations" or "hypotheses"?

academic dissertations
treateses

You're right, those do match the definition of "lucubration" better. But I find it hard to imagine saying "mere treatises" or "mere dissertations".

I'm not comfortable authoring such a confusing sentence, so I'm taking it down. Sorry.
