This is certainly possible to do using GRANT and REVOKE on the schemas;
no need to fool with pg_hba.conf. You can of course create groups/roles
to simplify the assignment of privileges, as needed.
Apart from the much more efficient queries (i.e. using cross-schema
queries instead of dblink), I don't think you're going to see much
change in performance, because most things like WAL and shared buffers
are shared among all databases anyway. You'd save a bit by not having
multiple copies of system caches (pg_class cache, etc), but I wouldn't
know if that's going to be very noticeable next to the primary
improvement.
