I have used this suggestion very successfully for my own purposes to
implement (3) and (4):

https://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-meeting-tasks.html

Inline tasks are an element here, too. It also features a function to
extract all assigned actions and collect them in one place. Not a table
though, but in exchange for keeping them as headings, they can appear in
agenda views etc.

Fully agree that (1) and (2) are fully covered by org export these days,
btw.

Just my two cents anyway.

Thanks for sharing your code. It would seem to me that this can be very
usefully combined with the worg tutorial I am pointing at above, to
create a workflow.
