Thank James for the pointers. I will try and let everyone know what I find.

I'm happy to confirm that this is the correct list for your question. There is no well-beaten path for running NiFi in another process, NiFi assumes that it is deployed as it's own process. NiFi contains a number of features for classloader isolation, thread management, and performance monitoring that may mean something different in another process, although I can't say for sure they will break. Hopefully, some others can chime in on the pitfalls.
