Regarding your point 1), you must be an aeronautical engineer (and a clairvoyant one, too) to claim that "the intakes required to decelerate incoming air to subsonic will either be too heavy, or impossible, or not distribute airflow evenly enough, etc etc."

You know that real experts (and not "experts" like you) once claimed that breaking the sound barrier is impossible in principle?
