I think Jonas is perfect "Prince material" (or whatever title Madeleine's future husband will have) for all the reasons you've given: he is well educated and brought up, he works incredibly hard, is used to move in certain circles, there are no scandals in the family, none of his family or friends have sold any stories to the press - and first and foremost (for me) - Jonas seems to love her and he's a perfect gentleman (that's a thing I appreciate in our modern times).
Jonas is really the dream of a son-in-law, and the King and Queen have accepted him since a long time now, and it's said that he's their favourite.
This past summer, Count Carl Johan Bernadotte af Wisborg (the last surviving child of King Gustaf VI Adolf) and his wife Gunilla hosted a small family dinner in the restaurant at Sofiero Castle in Skåne. The King and Queen came from France, and Jonas and Madeleine were there with them. Jonas had the Queen to the table!
So he managed the art of having lunch with the King and Queen in a public restaurant in Sweden - there's still a long way to go for Daniel Westling to achieve that...
