Franz, thanks for a great post.
There is no question that Apple is asking a lot of it's FCP users.
I of course have a question back to you. I know you haven't used FCPX yet, so a lot of your thoughts are about concepts, so conceptually, how do you see FCPX prevent you from being able to use a a sequence to organize your thoughts?
Did you read my response to David L here?:

Since a sequence is a collection of clips, would you be opposed to have a clip in the browser that is that collection of clips? You can then click on that clip and choose to open it in it's own timeline? You could then a keyword collection that is a collection of all your selects clips that are organized by "sequence". Just talking conceptually here.
[Franz Bieberkopf] "VERTICAL ORGANIZATION OF TRACKS
Organization of tracks changes during the edit and after picture lock.
During the edit, the track organization tells me primarily about sync, and a little bit about function; but primarily I use it as a tool to indicate picture and sound relationships.
I always keep linking off, so I can move any audio or picture at any time."
Have you seen the "break apart clip items" feature in FCPX?
