Just wondering what your opinion is on young and mature card failure percentages and what is considered a good number to aim for.

Young doesn't matter.
By default, Mature should be 10%. The scheduling algorithms are defaulted to that assumption, but can be changed.

It would depend on how you have your cards set up, no? My subs2srs deck has a 99% success rate on mature cards and 90% on young, because succeeding is really easy (just need to repeat and understand). My other (largely abandoned) decks have much worse rates because the bar for success is a fair bit higher.
Is it even possible to aim for a certain success rate? It's not like if you try harder to remember, you'll remember more.

If you have a horrible rate on mature cards, then you can change Anki to show those cards more often.

This is not the idea - this is the consequence. If your failure percentage is high then your workload in doing reviews is going to be higher as well. With higher workload for the reviews, you have less time for new cards.
Conversely, low failure rate -> less time spent on reviews -> more time for new cards.

Its not so simple as "more reviews for higher failure rates." That again is a consequence, but it could be a consequence of the material being too hard for you.
There is a formula where you can plug in the preferred failure rate (aka 'the forget rate') of mature cards and the actual fail rate and it gives you a number you put into settings in Anki. This adjusts the scheduling algorithm and will work how often cards show up. This will help fix your workload too so you may not be reviewing as much old material.

The setting is called "Interval modifier" and searching for that in the Anki manual explains how to use it.
