The biggest problem is that I need to remember to type C-q > before each newline and that I cannot use the arrow keys (I use the > arrow keys and C-n, C-p in different situations). You might try binding C-j in the minibuffer so that it self-inserts. That's what I do in Icicles, where it's not unusual to use multi-line completions and input. I use C-n and C-p in the minibuffer to move between input lines. I didn't understand what you said about those keys. In addition, I use a version of `end-of-line' and `beginning-of-line' that, when repeated, moves to the end/beginning of the next/previous line. That helps in moving about long lines of multi-line input.
