It appears it is possible. The documentation here says using a device is supported. https://linux-sunxi.org/USB_Gadget/Mass_storage
I will do some testing at some point and try to document the process/results here.
Here are my notes from testing:
I was able to get an improvement in speed from 10-20M/s (through the Pi) to 90M/s (direct to PC). I am not sure this is worth the extra effort yet. For reference the card I was using is this a SanDisk 256GB Extreme MicroSDXC Micro SD - SDSQXA1-256G-GN6MA.
I answered my own question.
One of the (minor) drawbacks is the speed at adding files to the device. Is it possible to have a partition be used in place of the iso.img file? That way you could put the sd card in a computer directly to transfer the files.
Is there a limit to the gadget module that prevents you from using a partition?
