I don't have any thoughts on the pam module, but I make use of some scripts that rely on pass as well. For my use case I just raised the TTL setting of gpg-agent to match an eight hour work day or eight hour evening period and ran with it. Feels fairly natural to "log in" to the agent once a day at the first use. Disclaimer: I work from home and lock my computers when I'm away from them.
