This is how I'd do it too. The only tricky part is to get the
connection between the real character and his Stand right. Something
very simple, with natural limitations. I'd go with a Useful Miracle
(named after one's Stand of course), range capacity, Willpower Cost
and Duration. The Stand User archetype has just this One Power plus
Hypertrained and/or Prime Specimen and No Willpower No Way.

If there are non-Stand Users in the group, the Point costs need to be
balanced for usefulness somehow. I would suggest that a Stand gets a
copy of the Stand User's budget, with a certain amount of Points
(25%?) from the Stand User transferred to the Stand, imbalancing their
budgets. The player is paying Willpower in each scene for access to
the majority of her Points.

By the time the Stands enter into it, there is no street-level flavour
as far as I'm concerned.
