Would the screen be useful for driver feed back?
It wouldn't be a drop in replacement since it isn't a usb gamepad but it would be possible. Something like this could replace the entire drivestation if you could get it to run the software (highly unlikely). At $350 it's a lot more expensive than most any other gamepad. Probably cheaper just to get something like this.
