I actually like you're story line. You could even borrow deeper from the EU to make Ben a really intriguing character while doing some fan service.
It the first movie, Ben goes to confront the new Empire. He see's endless ships and troops. Maybe they did find the Star Forge and the new Empire bought back cloning. Ben has a vision of a galaxy in constant chaos and a permanent state of war, he realizes that he doesn't have the power to bring peace under the new Jedi Way. In fact while he loves Luke, he starts seeing him as a detriment to peace, because there has only ever been one force user that has bought the Galaxy under what could be argued is as a sustainable period of mostly peace. With that Ben decides to learn the greater mysteries of the Force (Taken from the EU). He begins to collect Sith holcrons. Meanwhile he openly breaks with Luke's Jedi teachings and half of the students decide to follow Ben to bring peace and order to the galaxy. Ben eventually finds the Sith Wayfinder and follows it to Korriban, there he and his nights of Ren find a holocron, Ben opens it, its the Sidious Holocron. It teaches Ben immense power and sells him on a galaxy at peace, and it corrupts him. Now on the Force Level we have Ben now Darth Ren, or one of my favorite Sith names Darth Occulus and his nights against Luke and the new Jedi Order.
Ben slowly becomes more and more brutal as he's corrupted, he brings the Imperial Remnants together into the First Order that he rules, he pushes more ships and clones out. Eventually Solo and Leia confront him in the foolish notion that they can turn him. Ben realizes he must sacrifice what he loves to bring about his vision and save the galaxy. So he executes his parents. Luke and his Padawan a powerful Force user named Rey decide that they can't redeem Occulus and that they are going to have to kill him if the New Republic is to survive. Meanwhile Ben who was close to Rey in their training as Jedi has been keeping an eye on her career with great interest.
