Looks doable. Just make sure the cached entries reflect the 'followsymlinks' setting -- so a symlink could end up with both an lstat cached entry and a stat cached entry.

Yes, good point -- basically the functions will use the _stat cache if follow_symlinks=True, otherwise the _lstat cache. If the entry is not a symlink (the usual case), they'll be the same value.
