You can't load compiled binary code into WoW, you would need some sort of public/private key setup. OpenRDX has done this sort of update system, but if I remember right it's small scale updates.

Letting an entire addon live in the SV would kill your load times, and you'd likely hit the limit on SavedVariables for a large addon. You would also need to distribute the entire addon to do this, which is slow over the addon comms channel. Better off telling someone to use an addon updater.

It's interesting from an implementation standpoint, but what you want to do is impractical.
