Interesting idea but I could never play a Lawful pirate while maintaining a straight face. It is kind of a contradiction in terms.
The evangelist bit looks interesting though. I'd just lose the monk part and stick with the evangelist. Flag waving is ace - particularly if the performance is oratory or singing! Very dramatic.
A lot of the path includes more traditional adventuring environments where you often don't have several rounds to precast all your buff spells.
All the short-term buffing involved fits into that typical 'one round', since Divine Favor and starting Performance are standard/move. Mirror Image is minute/level and optional. It's not much different than a typical battle Cleric or battle Oracle - with a GM that demands that every encounter is essentially a surprise and that six seconds of "seeing them coming and getting ready" is forbidden, then it's kind of annoying. But otherwise it's pretty much a non-issue.
Sheathing provoking is only a problem in a situation where you would decide to put away your full-attack weapon and cast a spell while toe-to-toe with an enemy that you can't step back from, which is more than a little unlikely unless you're trying to be Nurse Healbot while leading pirates in battle.

I completely forgot to mention that the character concept is based on ditching lawfulness right out of the gate. Converting to worshipping Besmara and becoming a pirate should take care of that business just fine by level 2.
Anyhow, you can do a similar thing with a level of Urban Barbarian and some Extra Rage, or whatever else. The Monk level is just fun for the melee power, the skills and the ability to 'fake' good armor without being in any way encumbered.
