Who knows how this will all evolve and what it will evoke from users in the future. I just have a feeling that configuring separate sets of relays for each different type of content that you want to post is going to feel cumbersome for most users. It feels cumbersome to me and I'm a geek. I think 1 might be the simplest / easiest solution but it limits you in ways that some people probably wouldn't like. I would certainly do that for some purposes, but I probably also want to be able to post as "me" about various topics without being someone else.
I think even my idea (3) is going to feel cumbersome to a lot of people who just want to type into a box and hit send. But I also think if the UI is simple enough and there is some peer pressure from followers it could fly.
But I also think this whole topic really depends a lot on the vision you have of nostr as a network going forward. My preferred vision has a big, interoperable fabric where organic "communities" might evolve based on follow lists (and probably follow of follow, etc. lists), but there are no hard and fast silos as could be implied with more purpose-driven relays as in 2 and your original post that made me think about usenet.
