Well put!
I really recommend using XeTeX for most things. There are some caveats
though. Clipping is a bit iffy, sometimes it warns as not supported but
works anyway :-p. Sometimes it has trouble including slightly
non-standard pdf images whereas pdfTeX works fine. There are also a few
packages here and there that are still not completely supported. IIRC,
either one of the TikZ math libraries or a 3rd-party TikZ library (maybe
tikz-3dplot) is incompatible.
That said, I attached a sample pdf with lots of unicode produced with
XeLaTeX and Linux Libertine. As you can see, some glyphs are missing
from Linux Libertine, but otherwise it looks pretty good!

Glad you like it.
