You're absolutely right, and im certainly no saxophone expert =). But judging from my experience i'd say as an instrument it has a more forgiving learning curve than other winds/brass. A lot of the challenges the saxophone has and the things you pointed out are things you don't really need to worry too much about until you're making the transition from "i'm learning the saxophone" to "i play the saxophone".

Getting a good sound and good embrouchure (couldn't remember the word earlier, thanks) is an ongoing process. But to just, for example, play along with a 12 bar blues, thats something i think you could learn in no time.
