On the other hand, I am what you might call a "geek", and I find that Claws is actually lacking important features that I need, such as support for multiple "sending identities". I couldn't care less about the UI being pretty, but I do care about it being usable, and I care about it having the features that I want.

I use claws with multiple sending identities.
How? I spent a long time trying to figure it out and searching docs.

I just use multiple "accounts", they don't necessarily need unique SMTP/IMAP settings. With more than one you get to pick a From: via drop-down in Compose, and you can also set (per-folder) the default account and/or CC:/Reply-to:
Add a new account, set protocol to "None (SMTP only)", set it up.

If by multiple identities you mean accounts, I currently use it with 4 accounts, each one with rules to receive mail to its own folder, and in the past have easily exceeded a dozen accounts.
Also, backup and restore are super easy: just copy the ~/.claws_mail and ~/Mail directories and you're done: messages, attachments, accounts, contacts, everything.
