I was considering using an electric powersteering pump (from some Euro car)
and thought about using it to power the hydroboost at the same time.
I found this video from someone that made the same set-up.
What are your thought about this? Can it be done?
and if so why is this the only example I can find on the internet
If that electric pump can put out enough pressure there's no reason it won't work.

The "other" non-vacuum power brake system (made by Bosch and originally used on Buick GNs) works well when it works. That system is known for reliability problems. It's a bit noisy too, but you can help that with isolation mounts. The aftermarket version is sold by ABS.
That system has a relatively low flow pump along with an accumulator. I don't think it's anywhere near enough volume for power steering.
