So here's my conclusion.
Pacifism is definitely doable. I played with the following restriction:
1) No cheats
2) No military units on a continent with an enemy city, save my home continent.
It never happened, but technically if the enemy came and built a city in one of my expansion continents, I'd be forced to disband all military units until I could bribe their city under my control.
After a couple of tries, I got to playing some interesting games on Emperor 7 by clearing out my home continent, building a ton of cities and just pounding caravan shipments with transports on a lucrative route. It actually ended up being easier than I thought it would be since I had a large continent both times and killed 3 civs in clearing it out both times.
I think I may try to impose city-spamming restrictions for an added challenge, since the solution to the above scenario is definitely just spam size 4 or 6 cities everywhere possible, have one super trade city (colossus, all improvements) for caravan home-ing, and build caravans like there's no tomorrow.
