I'm not the best to guess on these but I love the idea of a hybrid... Structured paths that occasional creativity or skills can unlock variations or bypass bits. Skill based, but with limitations to keep them from being over powered.
I'd like to touch on the 'overpowered' comment...because you're not wrong, but it got me thinking...
Don't we have overpowered people in the world around us? Aren't the bad forces we have to contend with often overpowered, which is one reason we must contend??
What measures can we take or what things should we look for to avoid this overpowering?

Oooh, I love that. But still... With great power comes great responsibility, and in many cases also weaknesses that keep us humble.
