One thing that I think should be added to this theory is that Harbinger is the source of the indoctrination attempt on Shepard... This is the only thing that explains his complete absence from the story as he was trying to manipulate Shepard the whole time with the illusion of the kid, because I'm sure it would've been pretty clear whether or not Harbinger was leading the attack on any of the planets before hand.
I think people forget the Harbinger is kind of the main Antagonist of Mass Effect as he seems to be the Reaper of all Reapers. Now if I'm not mistaken (I don't entirely remember the ending, I try to forget it lol) it is specified before the assault on the beam to the Citadel that Harbinger (or his class of reaper) is breaking off from battle back to Earth to stop you (how else could the reapers have known? Harbinger must know where Shepard is going through their connection). I think this is a clear attempt to try finalize the indoc process by knocking Shepard out to own him, which he has made it clear he wanted Shepard's body intact as well. (and let's be honest, he could've killed him if he wanted to, that beam was clearly not directed to kill)
Just something I think should be taken into consideration with the theory. Sorry if this has been suggested already, but it seems like a simple thing overlooked in most versions of the theory.
