Really interesting thread!
It might be worth checking out the Scaling Combat Feats in the New Paths Compendium from Kobold Press
Scaling Combat Feats were created to address pretty much this very thing.
Here's basically an essay about the 'caster disparity' problem felt by non magic users in D&D:

It presents new core 'warrior' classes and scaling combat feats as a solution, but keep in mind that they're geared towards the power level of optimized clerics and wizards.
Core Classes:

Scaling Feats:

They may be too powerful for your game expectations, but they're a good look at how bonkers D&D does get at higher levels.
