So my question is simply if it is possible to inject objects from python
into an already running or separately spawned paraview instance? If so,
any pointers in that direction (an example script?) would of course be
enormously helpful.

I use a programmable source.  Here's a macro to create an image:

#####################
script="""
image = self.GetImageDataOutput()
image.SetSpacing(0.01,0.01,0.01)
image.SetOrigin(0,0,0)
image.SetDimensions(101,101,101)
array = numpy.zeros((101,101,101,), dtype=numpy.float32)
space = numpy.linspace(0,1,101)
for i,x in enumerate(space):
        for j,y in enumerate(space):
                for k,z in enumerate(space):
                        array[i,j,k] = (math.sin(4*x)
                                + math.sin(4*y) + math.sin(4*z))
image.GetPointData().AddArray(
        paraview.vtk.dataset_adapter.numpyTovtkDataArray(
                array.reshape(101*101*101), name="myarray"))
"""
script_request_information = """
from paraview import util
util.SetOutputWholeExtent(self, [0, 100, 0, 100, 0, 100])
"""
ps = ProgrammableSource(
  guiName="My Source",
  Script=script,
  ScriptRequestInformation=script_request_information,
  OutputDataSetType='vtkImageData' )
Show(ps)
