Reading the original post, I started to wonder what you are photographing.
The night-time/indoor work I do covers theatres, concert halls (classical), dance stages and press conferences etc. So far, I've managed to get by with various primes (f1.4 upwards) and maximum 3200 iso (usually 400-800) occasionally I'll use a monopod or tripod, and when necessary (and possible) a flash.
I can't think of any indoor situations where you would be expected to get good photos without high iso, or a flash, or good lighting, or a tripod. You'll have to compromise on one of these.
So my question is: are you being realistic by restricting yourself to this extent? Maybe you should let us know what you want to photograph, then maybe someone has a good solution.
