Are you using anything in chan_sip that actually can't be done in 
chan_pjsip (specific features), or is this just your internal migration 
process?

I think you answered your own question. You can patch chan_sip back into 
Asterisk during the install process, after it is officially removed. The 
simplest way would be take the patches that remove them and run them in 
reverse. Lots of people have been doing this for the removed DAHDI 
drivers, for example.
