What you describe sounds feasible - though some planning upfront  
would still be required.

* what will be the main document types? 'customer info sheet',  
'customer', ?
* parts and fields? what fields will be used in navigation and/or  
access control?
* what actions for what documents should be reserved for which roles/ 
users? if they are included in queries/navigations, they are  
automatically filtered against ACL
* for 'personalized' homepages, you should perhaps take a look at  
custom publisher requests (currently under-documented somewhat)
* categorization: hierarchical or tagging-style? keep in mind that  
hierarchical field values can only be managed by someone with admin- 
level access, however you can also use link hierarchies for that

if you do your thinking in public, I'm sure we'll be happy to help
