The main mismatch is indeed that PowerDNS expects backend to not know about
DNS, not do wildcard processing, not follow CNAME chains etc etc. 

Have you measured bulk performance, so how many queries/second you can
safely do? The dnsreplay program in the powerdns tarball might be of use
here.

Good luck!
