Well, it seems as if we actually agree with each other on most points.I will keep on trying to use the lowest possible crossover points, and I will always try to make use of physical alignments whenever possible.
OTOH, I realize that it's not always possible to keep things as simple as that. "As simple as possible, but no simpler" is my motto.
I've been pretty lucky so far in that I've rarely had to deal with an extremely difficult room. I can only hope it stays that way from now on.
Actually, I'd prefer headphones to a loudspeaker system that is dependent upon an obnoxious web of electronic remedies. That said, headphone systems will also become more complex over the next decade or two.
Headphone systems are indeed the future of audio, in large part because of the hassles involved in dealing with acoustical issues. I'm getting ready to meet the future head on.

I have some older closed back cans I listen to when I'm working at the computer, Sony CD3000 and Audio-Technica A700 and an OK-sounding Grace 901 amp. One of the things I like best about headphone listening is the clean bass. But I miss the soundstage. Someday I expect to lose my office/spare bedroom to use as a kids bedroom, and then I'll probably let the downstairs system go and get a better headphone rig.
The slower decay times of bass from loudspeakers may actually help with pitch differentiation, at least according to one speaker designer I know of.
Headphone listening has definitely not reached the level of perfection that it is capable of reaching - especially with regards to soundstaging. But the next twenty years or so might change all of that...
