Fascinating questions. It makes me miss my college Piano Maestro. The things I'd ask today. (1): When do you hit your peak, conquering all of the standard literature, after which you never progress much further? About 10 years? (2): What's the smartest way to practice? With stuff that you have already mastered just for pleasure, or new stuff? (3): What about zen moments? Why am I sometimes flawless and other times horrendous? What explains that?
Hello and thank you for the comment! Quick answers: 1. No peak :) Endless learning. But I'd say if you can play a Chopin's Ballade you are probably mastering the piano. 2. Smartest practice is "layered" practice, when you unfold layer after layer: text, technical challenges, sound work, interpretation; polishing and maintaining the piece. And not trying to do everything at once. Stage it. Have it all: pieces for fun and new works that will challenge your. We grow only through the repertoire. 3. Zen moments are very personal. I don't know enough to comment on it. But look at the current state of mind while you performing; and what was proceeding it : did you do a good job preparing? I do think we can predict almost any performance- if we did everything "right" more chances it'll go well :)
I've noticed that my fourth (very interrupted) year has been a big growth spurt. The correct fingering became automatic and I could play while looking at the score and not at my hands (sight-read).

Good job!
Do you work with children?
Yes, but right now I don't have any free time to take new students.
