This is excellent and correct. I disagree with none of this, but do want to add an additional suggestion:
Also have a “best posts of the last time period” sidebar (where ‘time period’ might be a month). That will keep really good posts visible for longer, without requiring explicit “sequence” creation or any other such formal archiving. (Note that this is distinct from any ‘sticky’ or ‘featured’ post feature, which would not have such an effect.)

I like this quite a bit (not sure about exact implementation but the core idea seems quite solid, and seems good from a few different use-cases and philosophies about the front page)
