There would be some issues ahead: for instance, how conky handles stdin. I googled and  googled and nothing came up; most of the users

For the xmonad experts but conky non-experts out there, can you be a bit more specific? Why do you expect a problem here? What is wonky about how conky handles stdin?

I haven't figured out how conky takes stdin. I can't find from the documents anything about outputting stdin stream, there are no variables[1] for that. I should have taken this to Conky's mailing lists first, but as I recall someone used conky with xmonad well. I couldn't find the post from archives, but maybe somebody pops up.
