Wrong and wrong.
Heavy armor does not affect all thief skills, in fact, it only affects Hide, Move Silently, Tumble and Parry. The max dex only counts for the armor class, it does not affect any other skill, attack bonus, dexterity check or anything else.
As for my multiclass clerics: they can use any class except sorcerer or wizard effectively. If you pick any one of those, your spellcasting will be severely damaged. Most classspecific abilities such as barbarian fast movement aren't hampered by armor at all, so you shouldn't worry about that. Excepting ofcourse the ranger dual wielding and monk AC bonus.
