What would you suggest in those situations: a folder containing 20 folders and 50 images ? a folder containing 50 folders and 20 images ? a folder containing 50 folders and 50 images ? Same question adding 20 or 50 non-image files to the folders. What should Dynamic view should do, at which threshold ?

We could add an "Ignore folders" toggle. I personally think that folders aren't files so I would it, if they were ignored, but some people might want to include folders as well in the check. I make a fork to show what I mean. > I make a fork to show what I mean.

I think 50% would be good. We could also multiply with floating numbers which would gives more accurate result, and we could add a slider so the user can decide when should the view mode change.
