That list does look like a good viewing order. It really is a shame that TNT (who picked up the show after it spent 3 years in first-run syndication) wouldn't commit to the fifth season, so JMS decided to wrap what he had always envisioned as a five-year story arc in the second half of Season 4. That's the main reason that Season 5 feels like an appendix to the show.
What I think is really awesome is that JMS had all the major and most of the minor events plotted out before filming ever began, including what to do if X actor didn't come back after season Y. And he had it all on notecards in a binder in his office. To hear him tell it, anyone who visited his office could have gotten a MAJOR spoiler alert if only they had looked around.
