For those two functions, I have introduced a similar change to the one I did originally to go from the basic string-to number on split-string to org-duration to minutes. Thanks, Sant Ignucius, for the debug-on-entry feature :))
May you share your changes? I am not sure if I fully understand what and
why you did without seeing the diff.

It should not. The reason `org-columns--summary-estimate' uses
split-string is because it may have to work with recursively calculated
estimates from subtrees. EFFORT property itself does not officially
support ranges.
