Sage advice from Bryan.
On the general subject of whether something is "Powergaming" or the like, and whether or not that's bad, that's a far more complex subject than most people think. I don't think that we should even try to solve it here. Mostly because we don't have to solve for it, in this case. There's no problem here.
That is, you're obviously putting very much thought into this already (more than many people do), as to what will make for fun to play characters. Rory has given you the answers on what Glorantha is generally like. You understand that PCs have to be plausible within the world, but can also be exceptional in many ways.
Armed with all of this you'll make the right choices for your game.
If you want a more extensive discssion on the more general RPG Theory subjects, feel free to email me, or we can maybe move the discussion to another forum (that goes for anyone interested).
I'm not a moderator, this is just a suggestion.
