WPILib without FRC-style comms on cRIO

I know with ThunderRIO we can still develop for the cRIO.
My question is this: Is it possible to communicate using WPILib or something like WPILib to PWM motor controllers, solenoids, CANJaguars, etc., without having to use the IterativeRobot/SimpleRobot/FRC Communication Protocol? I.E.; a robot fully autonomous and not connected to a PC, or a robot using a roll-your-own communication protocol?
