You're mixing apples and oranges here. NSS and PAM are not backends in themselves; they are frameworks that allow the admin to select and combine directory and authentication backends and policies. You can't get by without them, because you will never find a single solution that can replace the entire installed base of LDAP, Radius, TAC+, Kerberos etc., and you can't enforce policy from the backend.
