I would always prefer to do:
"There is no greater joy in life than typing a sentence, realising it needs a clarification, a caveat, an addendum (in the same sentence, not a new one) and, guess what, parentheses are right there for you."

That's what I'd do. Note the conversion of the first comma to "and," as well.
I like this. It feels like more a person talking and less like a prepared speech.
The parentheses bind tightly to "an addendum" and change the meaning
Not with my brain's precedence parsing rules.
That might lead to a lisp singularity.
