This is a nice approach - getting to leverage WordPress for the typical use case at which it is good, using something bespoke for the more advanced use cases. I've actually done something a bit similar in the past (the particular app i made used Lumen which is essentially stripped down Laravel, but the concept was close enough).
It's just that many made WordPress seem like a pretty much universal tool and while i've seen some pretty advanced things be done with plugins, i personally didn't quite feel like it's well suited for certain tasks where you'd typically reach for a general purpose web framework instead.
