Their centers ought to be aligned, even though there is no note there,
because in such a case it is essential to be able to visually divide
the measure in half.  They have the same center, exactly midway
as I described.
A note dividing the 3rd note of a quintuplet is at exactly the
same time as a note dividing the 4th note of a septuplet.

You're right on that one, but it looks awful.  There has to
be a way of avoiding this, because others somehow do it, and
you never see published music that looks that way.
