The weight limit is nothing to worry about. I am over 200, I can stick another big guy in, add a bunch of cargo, and not notice anything for all practical purposes. Maybe your mpg dips a bit, but it's not lke the car is dragging on the ground and struggling up hills. There are theories on why the limit was stated so low, but none involve the car not being able to handle more load.
Music isn't going to be great unless you spend some time and $$$ to improve the stock system, but it's possible. The stock system is kind of a joke, but most everyone does something to swap it out who wants better quality. It just means you'll want to do some research and then upgrade. It doesn't have to cost a bundle, however, I don't think.
I live in Bay Area CA and the local Honda folks are pretty familiar. If you live where no one has seen an Insight ever, and you will be the first, then you will have to do more homework yourself. However, they seem to be pretty trouble free for most folks anyway...
As far as tires go, I don't think you'll have a problem replacing them when the time comes. The stock tires give the best mpg, but they also last quite a long time. There are other options, and all do take a hit on mpg - but it will turn 90 mpg into 80 mpg, or 70 into 65, so it isn't exactly the end of the world even if you go with different sizing on the replacement.
As the best argument for your getting an Insight, I would say that the biggest of your worries is getting your music system up to your liking. That says a lot right there!
