You seem to have the right idea. Same conclusions I came to when I started playing in closed beta.
If you're a solo player, I highly recommend becoming a scout as soon as you feel comfortable with all the maps. Scouting is all about hacking stuff before anyone knows what's going on, as well as killing stragglers.
Very viable play style, but you need to know the maps like the back of your hand, as well as the 3 common travel routes- where vehicles tend to go, where frontliners tend to go, and where scouts tend to go. It took me a few months to get it down, but there were only 3 maps to learn back then.
Just know that if you don't have a squad to run with, being a support player can be extremely frustrating. You're bound to your teammates, and if they're idiots, which they often are, you're doomed.

Forgot to mention: you'll probably salvage some premade fittings. I've been getting a lot in the past few days. The ones I'm seeing the most of are "Frontline Special Issue" and "Defender Special Issue" suits.
While most premade fits are terrible, these are actually pretty sound fits, and they don't have any skill requirements. Don't be afraid to use them, as they're free.
I no longer have any SP invested in heavies or their weapons, yet Defender Special Issue fits have worked very well for me.

I know right? Back before the Hotfix that broke Scotty I would get matches where I was the only Logi on the team and on top of that the team was full of idiots. .-. They would just stand and stare into a wall for 5.2 seconds then turn around to run from the enemy.  
Last battle, I swear I was the only one on either team that doesn't lick windows, and I was playing a logi.
This fit was standard, and not built for killing, yet I was killing reds fairly easy with it, while picking up my teammates' ******** asses.
In codex, logis really had it hard, because the build before had a WP exploit involving the original rep tool WP system. Rep tools didn't give WP until CCP figured out a better system, but a few of us were dedicated enough to still use them.
