The only thing in what you've described that requires admin powers is shutting off the default ability to post, and then enabling Discourse to post.

This does seem like an approach that gives 95% of everybody at least 95% of what they want. (In the other 5% of everybody there are the core devs who strongly prefer email, a constituency important beyond their numbers, but to do their work they need to communicate with other core devs and it seems likely 90% of them will be on Discourse, so....)
