Some good ideas in there. One thing I am curious about is if people look for their "browser loading" as a sign of "things happening" (I am not actually sure myself, I think I ignore it) - which makes interstitials even more important (including some animation to show action).
Facebook seems to do a good job at this, and now I think of it, I pay no mind to what my browser says, in fact, as I use chrome, it kind of hides it out of the way. I have to look right at the top at a tiny tab-spinner, or down the bottom left for very pale text telling me what assets it is loading. So yes, this is important!
