Transmitting data to the cRIO from the Driver's station via TCP/UDP

Is there a reason or rule that requires that the image processing be integrated into Dashboard? Will FMS know or care that it is a standalone program?

UDP traffic is UDP traffic. As long as it's on the right port none of the networking hardware will know what program it came from. I also don't see any rules that prevent you from running whatever software you want on your DS PC as long as it is in addition to and not instead of the DS software (though I would personally recommend against Minesweeper, Solitaire or Pinball)
