What I would love, and it has not been supported (I was basically told “Go away, kid. Yer bodderin’ me!”, when I suggested it to AgileBits), is the ability to store the local 1Password vaults onto a separate volume from the main one.

I have a small encrypted disk image that I mount, after booting my computer. A YubiKey would be similar. I use this to store my really critical stuff. I don’t back up the mounted disk, but do back up the encrypted image.

Have you tried using the "export" feature?
That’s different. The shared hosted vault is better (and works great). I’m talking about a “set and forget” version, where 1Password doesn’t work at all, unless the volume is mounted.

I tried using symlinks or aliases, but that did not work. 1Password simply created a new vault.
