Can Trump actually be prosecuted and imprisoned after he's president?

4. There is a long-running revulsion against bringing Federal charges against a former President...

although they certainly can, if the statute of limitations have not run. Though I have to say this is largely a Democratic tradition (to not charge/prosecute) and R's most likely would do so against a former Dem President if given the chance.

But, the issue of state charges is distinctly different. They can be brought and unless there is a governing political structure within a state where offenses were committed that is protective/averse to such charges being brought (or a statute of limitation that prevents), then state prosecution is not unlikely. Just because it hasn't happened, doesn't mean it won't. Few former Presidents are likely to have left themselves so open to corruption charges, both state and Federal as Trump.
