If you do in fact add this feature, then you could have a McDonald's map with like 8,000,000 Ronald McDonalds chasing after you xD

do u mean like the mods in waw?

It might be possible to use ragdolls, but doing so would require bonemerges which could potentially cause severe lag and strain. Imagine 30 ragdolls all being carried by players with physguns at the same time, on every single bone/joint. Because yes, if we were to use ragdolls (without animations), we'd have to constantly pose them as ragdolls to follow an invisible zombie model.

That is, unless EF_BONEMERGE works internally without re-posing bones all the time, or there's a way to set a model using another model for animations (without compiling a new .mdl)

Yeah that would make sense, but I was thinking of using ragdoll models and not the Ragdolls itself

Animations are baked into models. If you use a ragdoll it has no animations. They'd be T-stance all the time, just like the spawnpoint models.

Oh... my dream is gone... R.I.P.

Couldn't using playermodels be any easier to modify the zombies to have custom models?

Nope, not if we want Nazi Zombie animations - playermodels don't have those animations.
