That looks like the way to go, because then I could upgrade to 6x6”s. Do you think those post bases would be strong enough to sustain a small load like string lights or a shade sail?

Yes - Post bases are used all the time to support roof loads on porch roofs and carports. I wouldn't worry about the post that's left in the concrete rotting. If you are you could put down a bead of silicon around the post before install the base to keep out water.
