Aside from the Cthulhu image (I think we all know blizzard had that in because the fans were asking for it in the forums), did you ever get an idea of what the XelNaga looked like? I mean, as you read the books, were there any ideas thrown in that should help us, at least, form an abstract of what they are or how they appear?
The Xel'Naga were never clearly described in the novels, the closest might be some of the visions of them leaving Aiur but even then it was only references to their ship (of course we now know that was Amon and co)
Official stuff aside, I do really like your Xel'Naga concepts :D
Keep in mind in the stories and such much Protoss technology is described as being controlled telepathically - lack of limbs is not necessarily an issue. For example in the Dark Templar Trilogy a Human pilot is unable to pilot a Protoss ship because she's not a telepath.
My take is Ouros/Amon and the bodies we see are possibly the forms from the PREVIOUS cycle. I think the Hybrids are a perversion of what the Protoss and Zerg would have come together as naturally as the Xel'Naga planned, but odds are the unified race would have still resembled the Hybrids - in other words Amon forced their coming together.
