Offline storage and rendering on demand may indeed by nice and even fast as it's exactly what e.g. all those car navigation software does. But i am afraid OSM data may have become too detailed to be stored offline and especially to be rendered in real time. But i'd love to be proven wrong here.

Since libchamplain AFAIK has a plugin concept to integrate renderers it could be possible to join forces
Uhm ... are you aware that there's a GSoC project doing pretty exactly this? See e.g. this blog entry:
