You're headed in the right direction! There are alternatives to conventional squats that you can do at home - grab some DBs, zercher squats, etc. Go with deadlifts, they are a core exercise that everyone needs to be doing. Do deads not hurt your back? I would stick with the compounds for now - bench, some sort of squat, and deads. You can add in isolation exercises later once you get a good foundation started - the big three will give the accessory muscles plenty of stimulation.
