[...]  I am even open to losing the historical "status" and beeing able to change all entries on the thread on reply. (i.e. Reply #4 changes "Status" to "Approved", and the system changed all entries in the thread to "Approved")

One possibility is to use the new 2.9.0 feature "Propagate attributes = OPS Approval,  ENG Approval,  Director Approval"
A change in any of the three listed attributes would propage to the corresponding fields of all former entires of the same thread.
So if someone creates a reply and changes "OPS Approval" to "Approved", the field "OPS Approval" of the original entry would go as well to "Approved".
I just happen to know about this feature because Stefan implemented it for me :-)
