As long as a module has a decent perl API, you don't really need a
Catalyst::Model class to use it.  You should be able to use any of the
ones you mentioned from Catalyst.

Could be.  The biggest complaints about SWISH-E are lack of UTF-8
support and lack of incremental indexing.  It indexes very quickly, so
in practice I haven't seen the latter as an issue, even on large
sites.
