being mineable doesn't make the coin "solid" just as not being mineable doesn't make the coin scam, in my opinion.
it is all in the distribution model they choose. it can be through mining reward with a good rate and create a nice growth like bitcoin. or it can be a bad distribution with large rewards and no cap,... and put the coin on a never ending downward trend like Doge.
or it can even be PoS rewards, or premine but distribute 100% of it although this last one is hard.

Nothing is perfect. But being mineable is the best distribution model and the best model to get a wide spread community who strenghten the ecosystem. And as you say in your "last one": a pre-mined coin will never be distributed 100% (or 90%, 80 or 70% as it will stay in one hand) and the main problem is the fiat-money character of pre-mined coins. As the mining-process of these coins is always in just one hand they're always in danger to undergo inflation because no one could limit the creators coin production.
