This could account for all their powers and abilities plus it would allow me to field them in my red Corsairs, and give me some cool models to make.

what are your thoughts on this, does anybody see any real problems if I do this?
I do.. It's fluff really..

The Thousand Sons are the Thousand Sons.. Period.. Using their rules anywhere else is just cheesy and weak.. It's just as simple to have a warband of 1k Sons working w/ the Corsairs (if you're so worried about fluff) and such than all of the stuff you mention.

Verdict: Don't do it.. It's a major fluff violation.

you can however, model them pre-heresy style, etc..
