I'd have to agree with you on all fronts... except the Orion thing, because the interaction between Orion and Scott Free can be absolutely AMAZING.
I'll freely admit it's been a long-ass time since the first son of New Genesis was used well, but when he is, hang on to the moon! Honestly, just think of the possibilities of a Scott/Orion/Kalibak conversation, with all their daddy issues coming to a fore! Although even this helps underscore your point, that there's no real sense in having Darkseid come into play without dragging the whole Fourth World into the mix. Kanto, Glorious Godfrey, Desaad, the Female Furies- these are literally iconic henchmen! (Well, maybe not Kanto. But that's all the more reason to use him as one!)
