That's an excellent set of points. Thank you for adding some real experience to counterbalance my speculations.
When it's viewed that way-- as not a fundraiser but a high-power incubator-- YC isn't a bad deal if you can capitalize on those synergies.
I have a lot of respect for Paul Graham and his Lisp advocacy in the mid-2000s can't be underestimated for its positive effect on programming. It was his essays that got me interested in Python, then Lisp and Ocaml, then Clojure and Scala. I'd certainly consider YC if I was sure I'd get a lot of personal attention from people like him.
