Drupal is great for one thing, CMS websites. As soon as you go outside of that it becomes increasingly difficult and cumbersome to accomplish custom functionality. I am not arguing that the same end product cannot be accomplished, I am purely speaking from a point of view whether it makes sense or not. PHP covers a wide array of scale when it comes to web applications, which is why so many different tools exist. You have to ask yourself how much custom functionality you will need to build in addition to the native cms functionality you inherit from Drupal. If the answer is none, then I would recommend using Drupal, if the answer is yes then you'll have to gauge how much, how difficult and whether or not you can afford the cost of doing something custom in Drupal. If it is very custom, the cost could end up being greater than just doing it in symfony, and could be more expensive and difficult to maintain.
