Don't Post Evergreen Content on Medium

Can Medium function as a funnel to your CMS? I assume there's nothing preventing a company or individual publishing on more than one place. Post to Medium with links back to your CMS. Blurbs, teasers, full articles - whatever suits your content and goals.

My point: it doesn't have to be an XOR choice.

you are correct, that's another facet of the debate (I tried to hit the high points). The argument against that is usually "as long as I'm there why don't I just write the damn article".

I mean, you don't write the article from scratch on each platform. The author should, ideally, be writing it locally and then placing it in all the places it's needed.

They should publish on their blog first and then use the import feature of Medium to republish it with a canonical to the original.
