Using a gamepad would not be the best idea, MANY of them cannot register opposite directions at once. Just use a keyboard encoder, it will be easier and will get you more inputs anyway.
As for playing other games, more like make normal games impossible to control.

I think they would be more difficult to control, but exercise, not score would be the main motivation, so, as long as they are playable...

Actually, a game pad would be the best solution. Get a cheap one or two with tons of buttons. Don;t use the directionals. Configure stepmania to use whatever buttons you wired up.

Use a DDR pad to play Pacman... now that would be fun. :)
