The ability for local sysops to override it would help
this a bit, but
ideally, it should be restricted to blocking IPs only until SUL is
implemented.

Yeah, it's not perfect, but it seems like it

stewards to have. Only thing is, I'm envisioning a scenario where a
valid user with good contribs gets blocked, doesn't user meta, tries
to get unblocked at his home project, but cannot because he's not
locally blocked, and the user doesn't know how to get in touch with a
steward (Because he doesn't know of this policy) or doesn't understand
how to communicate with one.
I don't think it's necessarily that big of a deal, but I think it will
need a LOT of localization to be effective.

Yes, stewards have a lot of the higher administrative powers for small
wikis that don't have much of a community yet. Including checkuser, so
the stewards using checkuser are on checkuser-l and haven't yet
