To answer your question properly I'd need more details about what you're trying to achieve.

It does sound like we pretty much already have what you need, with the exception of letting users themselves create clients. Depending on your use case it may be a good idea to have a single realm (and share users) between all developers/applications, or it may be better to have a realm per developer/application.

For the latter we do have a role that lets users create new realms, but not use any other realms. This could be used to let a developer register with your platform and then be able to login to the admin console to create clients, users, or whatever they want. For the first we have discussed in the past, but do not support it yet, the ability to let users register clients through the account management console.
