I was almost using this method; I had assigned multiple roles so
that's more like your extended fallback ...

The composite role trick might work, but just so I'm clear on this, if
a user has only one role, no personal profile will be created, but
doesn't that also mean the person can never edit their configuration?
(or does it mean that, if they do any customizing, they edit the role
for everyone?)

No, It should save it to the user's PSML if you customize.
I haven't tried it recently though. I always turn off customization for users with role-based fallback.
