But actually, it makes almost no sense for Snape to put his life at
such great risk from both Sirius and especially Lupin, solely to
take an opportunity to capture or kill a hated school-time rival.

While the teenage Snape was "levicorpused" by James and Sirius and was 
in grave danger from exposure to werewolf Lupin during the prank, I 
don't see the adult Snape as even remotely afraid of either werewolf 
Lupin or Sirius. He badly wants the Order of Merlin credit for 
capturing Sirius and he is a confident, master-(spell)caster.
