AJAXy update code would definitely work. (In so far as I've done it.) Making it work reliably enough to have lots of differnet people working on it at the same time might be an issue. Depending on the backend storage, you might run into some concurrency problems, but nothing more so than I expect you'd run into with most feature serving tools available right now, which (afaik) don't tend to be designed for high-concurrency editing.
