Oh yes, there is one other thing - Yace will not use book learning at very fast
time controls. The default is 5 minutes. Which could mean game in 5 or 3 min +
2s for example.

This limit can be set by

min_learn_tc 60

to one minute in yace.ini. I think, it cannot be set under UCI parameters.

You can see the book learning done, by inspecting the file bklearn2.pgn.

Can you check, if Aristarch did actually use learning?

Dieter
