I like your post as well. Good info regarding mode/interval relations.
A good tool to reference from when something doesn't quite fit in a Key while transcribing a piece, is Parallel Modes.
Take the progression in The Stones "Gimme Shelter" for example (Great Song, for sure).
The progression is; Intro; C#maj- Bmaj - Amaj
Chorus;
C#maj- Bmaj- Amaj- Emaj - Amaj - Emaj - Amaj - Emaj - Bmaj - Emaj - Bmaj

Using the Tonic Chord from the C# Ionian; C#-d#-e#-F#-G#-a#-b#
Then borrowing the Major Chords from the parallel minor
C# Aeolian; c#-d#-E-f#-g#-A-B
The Major chords C# from the Ionian and E-A-B from the c# Aeolian is brilliant. Although the chords are Major, the progression creates a minor Feel
(probably due to the lack of a pronounced V Chord proclaiming a Tonic).
Portions in the Solo are using the C#m Pentatonic scale as well.
(If anyone is interested, some claim the song is played in Open E Tuning) (and why not throw in some sus chord variation where need be).
