Interesting party. It should be pretty good once it has developed towards the middle-end game.
Cash shouldn't be a problem. I have never used Alchemy to generate cash in Wiz8 and I haven't had any problems despite the fact that I always buy spellbooks when they're available. As long as you only buy what you need and don't just start buying for the sake of it you'll be OK. For example, I rarely buy the mid-range armours and weapons that are available. I save money so I can get the decent stuff from Antone, Sadok or Kunar.
Identification problems are annoying, I agree. Regular use of Identify, particularly from the Monk will increase Mental realm skills and therefore reduce fizzles. I don't think this will be ahuge problem after about level 10-12 since you'll probaly have at least 2, maybe even 3, Identify spells by then. The biggest problem is waiting to get it and then identifying all the random stuff you've picked up in the first part of the game. Once you identify the backlog of equipment you'll be fine.
Yep, status ailments suck. Most low level parties have problems in this area, not just all melee ones. Again, this won't be a problem after about level 10 when you have the shield/screen spells to protect against magic and fairly effective cure spells too.
