When I finish those two ones, I'll have more time...
All that PBW does is automate the collection and distribution of game and plr files in PBEM games. A PBW game is 100% identical to a PBEM game. There is absolutely no reason why you could not set up a PBW game with no timed turns. There are a large number of games like that on PBW already.

In fact, it is kind of silly not to use PBW. You can even get the PBW admins to set up a custom mod for your game to use if you ask them.

- MODs: now here you will have to help me. I only installed the TDM ModPack however I gather some others might be worth installing (which?)
All of them. They are all wonderful, and bring unique flavor to the game. Go to www.malfador.com and then into SE4, and find the Mods list page (linked on the main news page (first one that loads up)). It has a list of links to most (nearly all) of the mods out there.
