The longest I get is like...3-4 months.
Jesus dude, did your ship have 1% left of non-flooded space or something?!

Yeah, I get that, too - usually after she strikes a mine.
Considering that major refits in this game last about 10 to 12 months - I'd say 5 months is about right for a major repair. Still, it kinda makes you wonder: just what the f#&* did she ran into?!?

Repair times are base on average WW1 repair times. During WW2 repair times were often noticeably longer.

Seydlitz was as close to sunk as it gets at Jutland and was discharged from the dockyard in October and back up and running with the fleet in November so 4-5 month max for a large nearly destroyed ship is right.

Yeah, as I understand it, WW1 ships were rather simpler in design (And smaller), and thus it took way less time.

Mechanically, this also makes it imperative to sink enemy ships and keep yours afloat. Even the most heavily damaged ship will be back in a few months, while a sunk ship is gone forever.

One feature that would be nice is to upgrade ships while they are damaged. I'm not as well versed in WW1 procedures as compared to WW2, but any enforced dock time was used to upgrade weapons and systems. This way the repair time and upgrade time would run concurrently rather than consecutively, perhaps with a small penalty?

Most of the WW2 examples are of ships having AA armament upgraded, which was seen as essential for survival, and often repairs took a very long time by WW1 standards.
For example, whilst Nevada was refloated two months after Pearl Harbor, she only rejoined the fleet in October 42 after her secondary and anti-aircraft armament was completly remodeled.
Apart from maybe FC improvements, I can't see WW1 era ships spending ages in dock during wartime to upgrade. The driver for this in WW2 was mainly air power.
