That is, an unarmed Champion of Irori focusing on DEX more than STR, while also keeping their WIS and CHA up(and hopefully not dumping other stats).
If so, how has it gone for you so far? Does it seem like it would hold up well in an AP?
after how my last monk turned out, I'm planning far ahead for the monk concept I really want to play

I played a level 10 Dex monk.. Was a lot of fun. But I was also a Flowing Monk. It was a lot of fun and an effective (read: amazingly OP) character. Weapon Finesse + agile AOMF is all you need for damage.
Keeping cha at 14 forever, you could probably keep wisdom up decently high. You'd need a Dex/wis race (or human) to get those stats high.
I tried rebuilding my character theoretically into a CoI and he really didn't lose much at all. Plus gained smite evil and even more ridiculous saves.

I had actually been playing a flowing monk with Guided, from levels 7-11. At level 10 the DM was sick of my insanely high wisdom and made me go Weapon Finesse/Agile instead... which really made no difference. I didn't have to suffer the low level issues of monk.
Honestly I would likely start with Weapon Finesse + Paladin at level 1, and then go monk from there. Taking power attack at 3. If you're human (or can swing free Weapon Finesse for all, some DMs don't like the feat taxiness of it) take Power Attack at 1. 13 Str is worth it.
Or, start Cleric 1 as human and go Channel Smite -> Guided Hand. Hooray wisdom!
