Isn't the multiple database issue only about names (and
namespaces):

You have database A with tables U, V and W and database
B with tables X, Y and Z.

This Firebird can't handle today.

But if you have a single database with tables A_U, A_V, A_W,
B_X, B_Y and B_Z (with matching definitions of tables), you
have the same logical structure and Firebird can handle it.

So the only (ahem) problem is, that there is no easy way to
isolate the A and the B part of this uber-database.
