Win16 is using the same scheme already; that's basically what the wine
binary is, a Winelib app running Win16 tasks. Now we could have DOS
support in the same app, but since we need a separate dosmod anyway I
think it should be possible to make it a separate Winelib app (which
would allow getting rid of the dosmod pipe stuff).

It can also be a dll, yes. Basically the key point is to allow a
dll/app to install interrupt handlers; then interrupt support can be
moved out of the core, and have access to gdi/user routines without
special callouts.
