There is a stable and full featured client for nodejs, https://github.com/harthur/firefox-client The downside compared to marionette is that this isn't a REPL API, so that it isn't an API to evaluate arbitrary piece of code on device. The idea is to write/tweak an actor in gecko, all hosted here:
Note that there's also https://github.com/harthur/fxconsole which is intended to be a remote REPL for Firefox although it has a somewhat limited feature-set.
I also heard that devtools team may ship a new panel in the app manager, so that we can easily pull and display any such information. I whish it could be done in such way that any gecko hacker can add any new probe in it and experiment to see what useful information we can pull from our codebase. Devtools team would mostly be here to implement the framework and let all experts in each field, find and expose all valuable probe in platform code.
Since you said the word probes, I just want to call out Brian Burg's amazing jsprobes work for Gecko from ~2.5 years ago and some related blog posts which I think are still relevant:
