If it's working then it obviously is feasible.  Finder 5.x comes with a
Switcher partition of 192K, however, which is good evidence that it should
have more than 128K.  I do know that Finder 5.[12] is extremely efficient
when given large amounts of RAM, but gave me a real hassle when run
with 192K under Switcher.  ex:I would drag 1 file to another disk.  'Ran out
of memory during copy--please drag files in separate groups'  !?!?! with one
file?  I then drag the file again.  'Rewrite files witht the same names?'
[Not that they were there...]  'Yes'  Then it goes and copies them...

MacKermit 0.8(34) was posted to Columbia recently.  Minor improvements on the
font used etc.  I haven't tried it yet with 800K disks.
