I largely agree with your reasoning, and preference for option 3, with modification. Westeros is still a patralineal society, and Jon has to reward his loyal allies. He can do so by marrying them to Umber and Karstark women. Perhaps there's some woman with Bolton blood still living, too.

These allies would become the de facto lords of The Last Hearth, Karhold, and The Dreadfort; their sons would inherit the titles and lands.

Who would these new Lords In The North be? Davos, certainly; he has no lands or wealth of his own.

Who else? No other names spring to mind.
