I did some modest work like this many months back, where I had a page as a kind of RESTful service endpoint. I returned a StreamResponse from onActivate(). The "page" didn't even have a template. This is not quite what T5 is intended to do, but you get the benefits of live class reloading and IoC integration, so why not?
