JavaScript does not allow cross-domain iframe contact, and logins won't be shared anyway. Even with CORs or other modern HTTP techniques. The only solution would be to re-engineer all helper script calls to be able to reside all the multitude of domains and re-engineer the JavaScript to point the calls appropriately.
The zone base URL feature was originally intended for putting out very custom functionality or content across different domains, it wasn't intended for putting full CMS interactivity across domains without significant custom development.
I would generally advise to keep a site from excess complexity, running a site across multiple domains would generally be something only a company with many full-time employees should be aiming for - there's a lot of complexity for it, and not a lot of real need.
