"hosted-engine --deploy" now seems to insist on using the oVirt Engine Appliance, but if it's possible and not a mistake we'd prefer to run and manage our own OS.

Indeed:

After installation, the vm acts like a normal machine. You can
install/remove packages and configure stuff as you wish.

In principle it should not be hard to build your own appliance and use it.
