Given these two options, I would go with the first; using an indefinite subject and then immediately following it up with a reference to that subject “smells” off to me, even if I can’t necessarily say that it’s wrong.

It's like you're actively avoiding talking about a person, but then you have a reference to the person as though you were just talking about them.

Right. vay'vam presumes that there's a vay' in the first place, and an indefinite subject is not the same as vay'.
