I ran into problems with pkg-upgrade when I upgraded from
8.2p6->9.0-RELEASE, and part of the problem ended up being a tool
pkg_upgrade used (uma). That was the reason portupgrade didn't work as
well. I ended up hacking the support tool and pkg_upgrade to do what I
needed, but they are both definitely broken.
iirc, one of the issues with uma was it's url generation. It would
generate urls like 9-RELEASE instead of 9.0-RELEASE, the former being
the format for 9-STABLE and the later (which I needed) was for an
upgrade for a release.
Sadly, I've forgotten the other issues, but I remember making about 3
hacks to the tools to get it working.

Many of your issues are non-issues, as your suggestions were
implemented in some form long ago. For example, updated applications
are compiled and available online. You can use "pkg_add -r" to
install the newest binary package that is available, or you can update
your an installed application by updating the ports and using
portupgrade, which has options to control whether you compile updates
from source or install binary packages.
pkg-add -r does not seem to be an "upgrade all packages" sort of feature I
am looking for. I have tried pkg-upgrade, portmaster, and portupgrade, all
of these do not work. I am working on getting the logs
