Can't get Hive driver working

Because Hive driver has extra Maven dependencies (besides hive-jdbc).
Why not to use preconfigured Hive driver?
Another way is to download Hive driver manually and add jars in your custom driver configuration (it may be better because Maven artifact is really huge).

Using the preconfigured driver, I get an error about:
Required field 'client_protocol' is unset!

Googling leaves me with the impression that this driver is newer than our installation, and it won't play nicely.

Yes, Hive driver has strict server version dependency.
You can change driver's artifact version right in the download dialog. Just click on the version number.
