Your discussion mixes a number of issues together.
The main support you seem to have for NAT can be accomplished without NAT by use of a packet filter (a firewall). A firewall doesn't imply NAT, and will afford the same security without the problems as outlined in the article.
I suggest that you don't actually know much about NAT or how it works. If you did- you wouldn't have raised the points you have.
Please do yourself the favor of reading up on IP and NAT- you may find your views changed.
