I like your theory, that Lydia would publicly disgrace Wickham somehow - Lydia's loyalty to her family make that more likely than Lydia running away with a guy her sister once went out with. Perhaps Wickham would have grounds for suing Lydia because of how she reveals the letter's contents? If she emails his boss and negatively affects his employment or something?
Also, if this was the path the LBD took, it would mean Lizzie's reason comment about Darcy having grounds to sue her for what she's said about him would be a nice bit of foreshadowing.
