Frees up a gig or two of disk space. Good.

Frees up cheap disk space by moving the library contents to expensive RAM? That doesn't seem like a good thing. And it also doesn't seem possible — you want system libraries to survive reboot. Presumably these files exist somewhere on disk, just hidden.
The dylib cache is stored on disk. It's saving disk space by only having that copy of the libraries instead of two copies.
What would the second copy be?
Not hidden, just inside the ROSP partition at /System/Library/dyld.
