Another option your post made me think of is to do something similar to what PF tried with their mythic rules. You could have a set of options that are strictly buffs, but you don't have to use them. So you can play your Fighter* as is 1-20, or you can add a Paragon Class at level 11 and explicitly give your character a "supernatural" buff.Agreed, this is another thing 4e got right. The notion of the "paragon tier" explicitly noted to the players "hey you all are 10th level now....you aren't just people anymore, your something more now, so choose a paragon option with some zany stuff"
*This could be any class really
