I see a problem, in that the most important chat channels are
guild/affiliation based. To have these available on an alternative
server doesn't seem viable if the organisations don't exist
there. Nor would it be particularly consistent.

Beyond the chat side, it would also require /who and /friends to
work cross server, which brings in swathes of other concerns.
