Naturally I can subclass and provide a defaultPage(WOContext) but I'm wondering how much of the D2W components/framework require a session to work?

All of them. There is no D2W without a session. So, D2W is a good choice for anything where the situation requires a session and where you can live with the somewhat hard to change layout of D2W pages - not that you can't change it, but it's not easy to get a nice looking application.

You actually don't have to change layout of framework's D2W pages. I usually start a project by subclassing all the D2W-pages (InpsectPage extends ERD2WInspectPage, ListPage extends ERD2WListPage, MessagePage extends ERD2WMessagePage, etc) and use project-specific html markup. Java files for these pages most often have no logic at all.

So, all our projects have both admin and front-end driven by D2W. I also agree with Anjo saying that having session is not a problem since it's just memory and thinking about saving memory on the early stages of project sounds like a premature optimization to me. You normally get much more in return.
