From there I would take control of all towns around the Throat of the World, leading up to a capturing of Ivarstead & Shor's Stone. From Ivarstead, I would build a palace near the base of the 9000 steps & seek the aid of the Greybeards to get me the support to become High King.

This would mean the Hold is nuetral, but may join the Stormcloaks if Imperial invasion occurs. The hold will host the Companions & anyone learning the Thu'um. Other guilds will be subject to public approval. I really think that the Greybeards would not help you, because in Skyrim, the Greybeards are stated to never interfere in politics ( Delphine from the Blades say that "The Greybeards don't even know what is happening in the rest of Skyrim" and that they might not even know that Ulfric created the Stormcloaks)
