Just replaced the gas struts on my hatch. They still work pretty well, but one of them was rattling. Anyway, I didn't try sitting on them, but they seem like the pair might work as suspension at the back of a banana seat. I don't have any banana seat bikes to try it out with, but curious if it's been done (with or without helper springs) and if it actually worked well.

I've actually thought of doing something similar myself. I don't know if it'd work or not, but I would like to know myself.
