The "walking out" suggestions sound perfectly good to me as long as your wife is able to get onboard from the bow. Especially with modern boats this is not always easy and certainly not comfortable.
Therefore I suggest:
1. Have three lines when leaving: stern line, bow line and a line from stern to the end of the finger pontoon.
2. While both of you are on board, cast off the stern line and let your wife cast of the bow line.
3. Tell your wife to pull/keep tight the line from the bow to the end of finger pontoon. Use the motor to help her as much as the propwalk/wind allows.
4. When the boat is out of the finger pontoon, your wife can pull in the line from the bow.
This would keep the bow under control and the people on board during the whole manouvre.
