Very cool ideas, quite possible.

But......the Valar laid down their stewardship when the Numenoreans abused their privileges. So intervention (Direct intervention) is less likely.

Although Gandalf may, if the Battle of the Morannon was going poorly (Sauron has the Ring), have busted out the Ring of Fire, and may have even been allowed to go all full-blown Maiar on Sauron (To even the playing field, given that Sauron is a lesser Maiar at this time---the Ring holds most of his remaining power, but much of his original power is gone...but Olorin's (Gandalf) is not.)
