I've been using a similar approach for the last year, and I find that most problems are much easier to deal with because of less crud in the build flow. There is currently a W3C proposal for template instantiation that showcase some conveniences to deal with templates in components, could be good, could be bad. https://github.com/w3c/webcomponents/blob/gh-pages/proposals...

Most communication I solve by custom event dispatching or attribute callbacks, but there are the odd cases, especially regarding more advanced drag/drop, that still requires state at some level. Do you have any concrete example of inter-component communication to look at?
