 * Our current theme doesn’t allow the blog options we need.
 * Is it possible (or at all advisable) to use a separate theme on a subfolder? 
   A lot of red flags come to mind. Any advice/help is appreciated.

 * You can create a child theme for the existing one. The child theme will inherit
   all the features of parent theme and you can code additional features for child
   theme.

 * Child theme is the best option for you. Inside child theme you can make a page
   template for blog.
