The syllabus seems pretty comprehensive, although I don't fully understand your
reasons for leaving political philosophy out of the question. Adorno's notion of
late capitalism was integral to his epistemological and psychological inquiries.

I have found Adorno's _Idee der Naturgeschichte_ to be a very interesting
complement to _Aktualität der Philosophie_, specially if you're interested in
fleshing out Benjamin's influence onhis early thought (or even in his later
works: _Negative Dialektik_ 3.2 is in direct connection to this early work,
quoting it extensively).

As regards secondary literature, I have found van Reijen's book of little use.

Best,

Alon
