Here is my "Libbitcoin for Core people" writeup, which intends to conceptually summarizes how Libbitcoin works for people familiar with Bitcoin Core. https://gist.github.com/darosior/97958327835eeef4119418e4d3b6d27f
I intend it to post it to Delving Bitcoin (probably tomorrow) so people can discuss it and you can participate if you're so inclined. I tried to keep it a high-level overview, so i've omitted some details you've shared here. These can be brought up if people ask about a certain area in the comments.
If you have the time to skim through it please let me know if i got anything wrong or feel i'm misrepresenting something.

Those could be checked in validation, which would benefit from block parallelism, but it requires some amount of redundancy (which may make sense as an optimization). I think that because the data is queried anyway, the two checks are essentially free in the current implementation.
