I am searching for a way to dynamically require some useful MediaWiki modules from an external project, specifically toollabs:dewkin. The parts most concerned with my purpose are mediawiki.api, mediawiki.jqueryMsg and mediawiki.language (for PLURAL parsing). Is there a simple way to load them with all dependencies (via https://bits.wikimedia.org/www.mediawiki.org/load.php) and actually use them without having to load the entire "mediawiki" module? Or is it worth reimplementing the whole stuff?

This is unofficial, but I'd recommend trying it like this:
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Example</title>
<link rel=stylesheet href="myapp.css">
<script src="//bits.wikimedia.org/www.mediawiki.org/load.php?lang=en&modules=startup&only=scripts"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="mw-body-content">
..
</div>
...
<script src="myapp.js">
// Skip unsupported browsers or in case of an error
if (!window.mw) { return; }
// Load these modules first, as needed by "MYAPP.init()".
mw.loader.using(['mediawiki.api', 'mediawiki.jqueryMsg'], MYAPP.init);
</script>
</body>
