Are you limited to using CD/DVDs?
You can put a custom ks file on other media types or make it available
via the network(via ftp, nfs, http, etc)
The plan is to use a minimal CD boot disk and a DVD image on hard disk.
I've tried to use just a DVD image,
but could never get it to work.

seems to suggest that I don't need to edit the
boot disk to use a kickstart file on hard disk,
but I would need to know how to refer to a partition.
It's my understanding that since F15 or F16,
names like sdb2 are no longer reliable.
Also, changing /etc/login.defs would seem to be a lot harder
than just figuring out where to put the kickstart file.

To get around the too early/to late of %pre and %post, you may want
to add a custom RPM archive file to the CD, have it dump the files
into the being-created system, and run a command as part of its
installation procedure that causes the newly added files to be read.
Then reference the new RPM archive in the packages section of your ks
file.
If that is really necessary, I might have to give up.
It might be easy if one knows how, but I don't.
I've never made an RPM before.
I've never used kickstart before.
For me, installing is something I've always
approached with fear and trepidation.
Something always goes wrong.
Also, that prescription seems rather a lot to
be inferred from just "use a kickstart file".
