    With separate remotes, I'd need something like:

            done

    And I also would need to have per-branch configuration to merge
    from ". remotes/origin/$b" without re-fetching while on a
    non-master branch $b, for the above to work.  I still need to
    remember to process "master" first, so all things considered,
    this is a regression in usability for my workflow.

you could also run git-fetch first and then always default to
the local repository.  But that would of course make pull just
a shortcut for merge, without any fetch.

Would it be so bad for you to call fetch three times?
I think the most intuitive thing for pull would be to fetch into
remotes/<remotename>/* and then to merge
remotes/<remotename>/<currentbranch>.
