You'd be missing the best of Plan 9. Actually, I really feel we already have Plan 9 merged into Linux and (iirc) OpenBSD exactly as far as it needs to be, in the form of the frequently but underservedly ignored 9vx. I've always thought p9p's plumber could help 9vx communicate with the host system, but never actually tried it.
