Let me ask if the following scenario is possible at all:

.BANK admins decide to setup a DKIM signing service for .bank domains. They register dkim.bank, and accept and relay messages originating from their customers, signing them with d=dkim.bank. (Compare to onmicrosoft.com?)

Sounds like a bad idea, but OK for now ... I note that onmicrosoft.com is an MTA farm, and they have ways to apply valid customer DKIM signatures if they want to.

They may consider that a tangible way to protect .bank domains.

No, they won't.  See below.

Will that work to validate, say, mail From: [email protected]?

No, of course not. dkim.bank is no different from any other domain registered under .bank.

Scott knows better than me, but my understanding of PSD is that it's a way to check wheter registrants have published the DMARC policies they are supposed to, and to provide a backstop until they do, not another way to try and circumvent broken configurations.

PSDs only make sense in TLDs (or TL-ish Ds) that have a strong enough relationship with their registrants to require DMARC policies. That's one of the many reasons you'll never see a PSD in .com or .org or .hockey.
