Another update:
Item #8 in my original post is still very much alive and has been biting me more lately. There are multiple things going on that result in part or all of the screen becoming...
Things are still pretty much as described in this thread. For my specific use (firefox, evolution, vlc) it's working well. If you want to do lots of different things, I can't make any promises.

I've been experimenting with a daily build of Ubuntu 16.04 desktop on a tablet. The system appears to be handling the touch screen hardware properly - gedit works very well using 1-finger gestures...
