Before we pull pg_dump to bits let's identify some actual benefit from
doing so. If you look at the code you will see that it is more than
somewhat complex. A large scale move like you are proposing would be
very high risk, IMNSHO.
From a person who deals with customer migrations daily perspective.
Anything that is going to put the stability and integrity of
pg_dump/pg_restore in *any* way, is a no op.
