I am not sure how practical the microbatch ETL solution (performance impact on transactional system apart from the same on the OBI reports to some extent)...
Probably doing OBI reports against replicated OLTP data seems like an good one but that also has reporting performance impact having to run queries against an normalized schema...
If we are to build a real-time OBI reports against OLTP schema (replicated or not) it should probably be limited in scope and only as a supplemental role to the main DW based reporting.
As for federated reporting, I wonder if anyone had a good experience with it in real-life client situation...

1 - microbatch ETL [ possible to do for selected entities, change control can become complex, micro ETL can be done many times a day]
2 - map OBI to source [ to 3rd normal source, discussed below]
3 - map OBI to replica of source [ large companies make DR kinda backup of OLTP and use for reporting, may not be easily suited for smaller companies and needs double the disk space for one, no load on OLTP of reporting]
4 - map OBI to a transformed and enhanced version of the source [ seems like the ODS approach, is often done, but does not store historical or analytic info, good for multiple sources]
5 - federate across a DW and source [ technically possible, makes RPD little complex as hard to join id's across DW pk's and OLTP pk's, join on business keys may have to be done..]
And what about mapping OBI directly to a 3NF model? What about
getting rid of DW/stars all together and just using the source?
[ Noetix and EIS are the vendors who do that for operational reporting. Oracle's Fusion Analytics - now obsolete did that too. DBI's kinda did that for EBSAdvantage is no real ETL engine needed, but works well for operational, not really analytics reporting like year over year etc. Also OLTP gets loaded by reporting]

Did you have to rebuild the Essbase hierarchy to match the levels to those in OBIEE or other way around to enable drill down across data sources?

Actually, you can integrate Essbase into the Business Model layer "on top of" the underlying relational detail in the same way you would use an aggregate fact table. You do need to have the dimensional member names aligned with relational columns, but these relational columns can be logical calculated columns to apply appropriate prefixes that Essbase may require. So Essbase can be implemented in a seamless manner, where the user is unaware that they are drilling across two sources.
However, back on the real-time reporting point, a solution with Essbase could realistically only get near real time using the trickle feed load approach, but I would not consider it real time BI. It is great for fast performance across summary data and this year vs. last year type analysis.
