You've covered most of it there. The major challenge is the wiring side of things, but anyone with half a brain and the ability to read a wiring diagram shouldn't have a problem. You're an electrical engineer so you're laughing!
Add to the list intercooler piping if you're installing a GTE. Apparently you can bodge something up using stock Mk3 IC pipes, but since they're pretty restrictive anyway I reckon you're better off paying for steel tubing. It's easy enough to get this done at the same time as the exhaust mods.
Another option you didn't mention is a 6M-GE swap, which isn't much harder than swapping in another 5M-E and goes a whole lot better. My MA61 was bucketloads of fun with one of these, especially with a 5-speed.
