The thing about walls of text is that you have to be absolutely spotless when you argue your point. Most people I believe will read the beginning, a little bit from the middle, and a bit from the end to get a feel wether the small novel in front of them is worth reading. I'm, sorry to say pure that you failed pretty badly here.

Currently, most pvp fits and pirate/pvp ships flying in low-sec have a warp disruptor/warp scrambler + web fitted in a middle slot. This keeps middle slots occupied and armor tanking the only viable option for this type of ships.
Not true. You only have to pass over scrapheap challenge or battleclinic to realise that this is simply not the case. One of my favorite ships is a twin LSE t2 shield buffer tanking hurricane with around 50k effective hp, and a classy 600 dps. Different strokes for different folks my friend, so this is just wrong. Moving warp disruption to high slots would give rise to the possiblilty of awesome passive/active shield tanks, massive dps, AND tackle all in one ship. Not a good option.

Imo a specialised ship/setup should be able to travel to low-sec relatively safe from small gate camps, especially transport ships.
Why? That would make low-sec very secure? You say that you won't get into the discussion of pirates who say that low-sec is not deserted, but this is entirely the point. It IS, and risk vs reward is very good here. A clever fit, and good choice of targets can net you millions upon millions, but you stand to lose your ship at the first hurdle.. AND any progress to date. Low-sec is perfectly busy.

The best way imo should be to reduce DPS of guns a bit along with a big increase to their ammo signature size to e.x. 3x that of a BS, so they are much more effective against BSĘs-carriers than smaller ships, more effective against MWDing ships e.t.c.
Sometimes a seemingly silly arguement can win with good maths. Here you fail also... increasing the signature resolution of a gate gun to 3 times that of a BS would cause the gun to outright MISS said BS about 8 shots out of 9. Back to school buddy.

Seriously, the day I have to roam with a minimum of 3 other people to guarantee(?) a scramble on normal ships is the day I quit Eve.
TBH, even if everything else was good... THIS all the way. It would destroy small gang PVP, and reduces ISK destroyed on a daily basis. WIth Blobbing being the only way left, people would leave the game for lag.
