We've had excellent sendmail/cyrus integration for years, with 35,000 users. It's done by having all users in the NIS map on the mail server. No modification to sendmail is necessary because getpwnam() returns the passwd entry for the user. Users can't log in to the mail server, of course, because PAM rules prevent that. The same thing could be done with other user databases, such as LDAP. Why would you ever need a different form of integration?
We've done the same by putting all user accounts into virtusertable with the no-recursion option.
That said, it does require something to take user accounts and export them into virtusertable/nis maps/etc. So this approach is technically superior to what you and I are doing.
