Welcome to the Q&A Forum

As far as your original question, your nofolllow and noindex settings are fine. I guess I don't understand the point of building out the pages with content that isn't unique.  I come from the camp that starting it out right is always the best practice.  People follow you because they want your point of view.  I don't think that takes much time.  On most CMS platforms you can schedule your posts and you can spend one day on post and spread them out over the week.  I would see if someone in your company likes to write and see if they want to champion it. But, like I said before.  If you want to go the route you are currently taking then your nofollow noindex of those pages is fine.
