And if money is only secondary for you, but reputation and/or material rewards are all that matters, then you don't want to fly back and forth hauling thousands of tons for less than a handful of Biotech Conductors or whatever.
I admit this is my first content update since nice I started playing so I don’t have a good reference.
As I understand it, the normal way that new Cr earning game play has been introduced in the past was that it became the new quick ace earner. It seams to me that having the new wing missions pay a bit (lot?) less than solo was a better choice as Fdev won’t need to nerf it but might give it a buff.
My own highly un-scientific test of the wing missions showed it paying about 1/4 less than solo but without me needing to hunt for the decent paying missions.
My simple test was this. I looked in the board, I found a wing mission that was good not to take 5 trips and paid just under 4 million Cr. On that same board was a solo mission that nearly filled my cargo bay for just over a million. I would have made more by doing 5 of the solo missions, if I could find them.
Arguably, If I was actually in a wing. We could have all done the mission together and made more cumulatively than I would have made doing it solo. And then we could have done multiple wing missions and made a lot more. But I don’t have a bunch of friends that I can quickly call on to do a series of wing missions.

I've taken a couple of bounty hunting wing missions in solo and they work better than the trade ones in general.
I tend to stack 3-5 missions from different factions, but with same pirates factions as targets.
There are still some pretty absurd numbers that I ignore, like destroy 152 ships for 6 million.
I simply stick to the ones that only require 10-50 kills, some of which can pay 5-8 million each. (And I'm only friendly with the factions so far)
I clocked a stack of 4 bounty hunting missions: 2x wing missions + 2x non-wing missions, which took me 1 hour 10 minutes to complete.
Earned 17 million total when including the regular bounties from ship kills.
