Not for this exact problem, but Goldstein at Barra research has published some whitepapers on fat-tailed distributions for expected shortfall.

comment Where to find Greeks for futures to form delta-hedged futures portfolio of S&P 500 index/futures
Bloomberg is my typical source, though Reuters, FactSet and many other systems have it. For interest rates, it is common to use LIBOR for about a year and the swap curve thereafter. I suggest contacting your data service rep for the tickers.

comment Switching from Matlab to Python for Quant Trading and Research
Java for numerical analysis / quantitative research is pretty much a horrorshow. You'll find yourself writing 10x as many lines. The bugs may not quite scale with that but it's safe to say you will see maybe 2x the bugs.

comment illiquid american options pricing
To be honest, you see "sophisticated" market players using the scenario approach even with options on liquid underlyings.How can that possibly be right? Well, consider that these are typically people who take positions in equity, which is entirely contrary to the assumption in contingent claims theory that equity is fairly priced. If they feel the equity is priced inefficiently, then why not the options as well? So, the answer to your question is still: scenario analysis.
