Yes of course, this has always been a security concern.

This is called provisioning: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Provisioning

I disagree about disk waste.
For memory, the gain of using one process for all DB vs one process per
DB doesn't seem so much I measure it of ~40Mb with the full set of
module when starting a DB takes ~25Mb.
So in some way, it will double the require memory for such case but
still it should fit in one common server configuration.
