2. Since I have 100's of Kindle books and use the Amazon ecosystem without any issues, I'd like to be able to use that without any extra process (converting, DRM removal, etc.).

DeDRM and conversion are quite easy, using calibre.
But if this is a dealbreaker for you, then there is no option other than a Kindle device.
That includes the Kindle app for Android (i.e. one of the various E-Ink Android tablets).

3. I appreciate being able to sync locations between my Paperwhite and iPad seemlessly.

Kindles are the only vendor platform that supports upload and syncing of personal content.
Your options for sync are to use Kindles, buy all your books anew from the platform you switch to, or use dedicated reader apps which support storing bookmarks/highlights/current page through Dropbox/other.
That last option pretty much excludes the dedicated ereader market (unless you go with KOReader which is available for Kindle (JB'ed) and Kobo. There is also KOReader for Android,
but not for iOS!!!)

5. I would love to be able to adjust fonts (size and weight) without having to run the books through a conversion tool, as well.

Well, the Kindle can change font size already, but that is about it.
If these things are of primary importance to someone, a Kobo is generally the better choice.
