The problem with a generic JSF converter is that it has to be very dumb, or you
have to use a certain kind of object.
The Seam 3 converter went as generic as possible, it also kept things in
the conversion (and should work fine in the request as a conversation is at
least as long as a request). Depending on what state you're storing in the
converter, you probably wouldn't want anything longer than the conversation due
to memory issues.
If memory serves correctly, the Seam 2 converter really only worked if you
were using the EntityHome classes.
If you were to do anything similar to the Seam 2 converter you'd need to
create some sort of object hierarchy the user would need to use, or try to
perform some sort of generic magic with the criteria API, which is not the
easiest of things to do.
All that being said, I'd be happy to talk ideas out anyone may have.
