I hope BB8 will do some work, droids are my first love and i sadly switched to another main team (empire - also underdog but very viable at arena etc.) - i have collected all droids 7*/purple gear and crossed my fingers for a IG100&Grievous Rework this year. Now BB8 is not a rework or Droideka but at least seems powerfull enough to think about droids again.
I like your Ideas about super powerfull openers and JE as a "backup" but i was never a fan of the little Jawa that do more or less nothing than push TM (it would be a little better if he gets the assist-raid ability...) so if the ideas above will not work i would lean to a tankier droid squad:
HK, R2, BB8, K2 and IG100 - its a lot of HP/Prot mixed up with Foresight/Stealth and 3 counterattacks (which will also feed crit-tm-train and reduce BB8 CD). K2 and IG100 will apply offense down over the enemy and you even gain some control with Daze/Stun. What is missed is a big hitter but no one has seen G12 droids in action.
Sure i would love to see some IG88/86 action again but so many new chars can hit the same numbers but also offers a lot of more abilites AND can survive some counterattacks too.
EDIT: I missed that R2 gets better with his cleans zeta if you pair him with K2 (so he nevers stops taunting) and BB8 to, since both have counterattacks. BB8 zeta special with HP/Prot recover can also be the first usefull thing (besides Jyn lead) for a K2 zeta ;)
