Would it be possible to add some kind of feature or extension which enables users to either;

That shouldn't be hard to do at all.

simulate a book)
Not clear what this means.
There has been some suggestions to add a transcluded Special:Prefixindex/{{PAGENAME}} to the stub-templates, but I have warned them off with a possible hit in uncacheable pages..
It would be cached perfectly fine. It just wouldn't update when new pages are created, until the cache expires or is purged. (Have you read [[WP:PERF]]?)
Adding some AJAX-functionality would also need some kind of uncacheable special-page output.
AJAX isn't relevant at all here.
