I'll answer my own question. Yes, Lyceum can do all I need! And it was 
pretty easy to work out too. The installation script was very clear, and 
only missing the creation of a .htaccess in root (below). Here's what I 
now have:

1] Users can access their blog via: username.domain.com
2] Lyceum is installed in a directory (/lyceum) under root
3] Blog URL's are clean. Note, that so far login/logout url's refer to 
my lyceum subdirectory. For me this is not a big deal. I was more 
concerned about URL's that are typically bookmarked.

I followed the standard instructions, plus:
As documented in installation.txt, installed /lib, /config, 
/installation as subdirectories under /lyceum, at the same level as all 
the other directories from /src. I did need to set permissions to 777, 
not 775/755:
  /lyceum   --> 777
     wp-comments-post.php   --> 777
     /ajax
     /bin
     /config
     /installation
     /js
     /lib
     /smilies
     /system-admin
     /wp-admin
     /wp-content
        /blogs   --> 777
 
In private.php (as the file comments indicate):
  define('PRIVATE_REL_PATH', './');

In wp-config.php:
  define('WEBROOT', '/lyceum');

In my domain root I created a .htaccess:
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule ^(.*) /lyceum/$1 [L,QSA]


That's it! So far, a 1000% improvement on my MU experience :)
