Low noise regulators for the +12V and +5V outputs would also be useful.
Very true. By focusing on the -12v supply, I did not intend to suggest that low noise is unimportant on the +12v and +5v supplies.
The suggestion to use LT3042s is a good one, but note that it has an output current rating of 200mA. The Tbolt needs ~250mA at +5v, and ~700mA at +12v [at startup -- but only ~150mA steady-state, depending on ambient temperature]. LT3042s can be used in parallel, so two of them for the +5v supply and four of them for the +12v supply would be required. That isn't so bad for the +5v supply, but seems excessive for the +12v supply (particularly when three of the four are needed only during warmup from cold).
The LT3088 and LT3080 will deliver 800mA and 1.1A, respectively, with low noise (but not as low as the LT3042). One of those might be a better choice for the +12v supply. Similarly, the LT3085 can deliver 500mA, so one of those could be used for the +5v supply.
Finally: Linear Technology -- Where is our negative-voltage complement to the LT3042?
