Actually we are doing just that. We our building all of our components and modules to have the content we want for the site easily entered into the back. People talk about WordPress's advanced custom fields. lol that is what a module is.
Now, one thing through our development so far that we see is an issue is this.
for WP they use custom post types... which is like a custom html page template within a site. in joomla this is a component. The difference is you have to build the component which would work just like a custom post type. However, that takes away the ability to use articles/k2 items and modules for a customized page set up if per se you wanted to load in article/k2 items and surround them with modules. You could still surround anything with modules but if you use 1 component that is it.. I can't use the article or k2 item content...
I would like to see module calls for articles or k2 items and a module component that will link to the article/k2 item that the module is calling... Does that make sense?
So the idea would be you could build a module that puts a lot of content for a particular page and surrounds it with certain modules/content if they are being used. One of the things the person would choose is an article/or k2 item that is available to choose from kind of like how you do it when creating a menu... Now, when this is done the content will be all of the information filled out into the module including the article. All the person would do now is go to the menu and select the "module" that links to the article/item and it would link to that url and display all content.
That would be awesome functionality.
