Would it be possible to create a simple splitter that allowed continued access to the stock FB9 controller's on-stick buttons while using a "real" joystick or a Retron pad or something similar?

This might work:

Unlikely to.  Serial comms typically use only four pins, and they save a couple of cents by not wiring up unused pins.

 

You could buy two joystick extension leads then splice them together.

I bought this adapter to try out:

It works great, indicating all 9 pins are wired from end-to-end. I have both a joystick and a pair of paddles connected to the left port leaving the right port free for another pair of paddles.
