All of the things that you've mentioned apply to full-time employees too. Well... yes... but to a vastly lesser extent. There are only so many hours in a day :

As a business, employing just part-timers (ie. using the part-time as a carrot) could be a very good way to build a decent team
That sounds like an interesting tactic. I'd be interested if anybody tries it.
My personal experience, or at least my perception of my experience since I didn't write everything down, is that part-timers have a higher turnover than full-timers. I suspect that could well kill the advantages that you talk about.
