The wider implication I was referring to was an account-based web service that could securely pass requests to your personal local instance of minimserver, much as how I expect, in my relative naivety, the HouseBand skill is doing for JRiver.

I understand what you are describing. JRiver is both a control point and a server. All user interaction for playing music would be handled by the control-point portion.
