The others are not needed as you point out. Btw, what you could do is, conditionally set the user/pass based on the requested page. As in unprivileged with select/insert/update/delete for normal usage, and privileged with definition/index related stuff in addition when visiting the upgrade page.
change this line in your index.php on root from require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); to require(‘./wdps/wp-blog-header.php’); then make an .htaccess file on root like this: # BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /wdps/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /wdps/index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress
To answer your question, yes, WordPress could work. WordPress permission system is built on roles and capabilities. To manage your permissions, you can use a plugin such as the User Role Editor.

Malware/Permission bug removal?

I have integrated the same functionality you mentioned almost 1.5 years back. Unfortunately there is no easy way or single plugin which will do all these. Note your plugin selections are correct.
I believe the “lamp-server” package in Ubuntu fails to install mod-suphp, which would likely solve most of your permission problems. Try installing the libapache2-mod-suphp package. And undo everything you did with the permissions. The WordPress install should not be owned by the apache user, it should be owned by the real user.
Is it possible to allow a user to only edit categories of posts and nothing else?
