I don't understand the need for this level of engineering. It appears we are going for an opaque bearer token here. The checksum is pointless because an entire 512 bit token still fits in an x86 cache line. Comparing the whole sequence won't show up in any profiler session you will ever care about.
If you want aspects of the token to be inspectable by intermediaries, then you want json web tokens or a similar technology. You do not want to conflate these ideas. JWTs would solve the stated database concern. All you need to store in a JWT scheme are the private/public keys. Explicit tracking of the session is not required.
