The "PiCore" version of Tiny Core Linux runs on the Pi with the core
system entirely in RAM. It should be possible to have that boot from
a read-only partition, though it might be easiest to remount it
read-only after booting to avoid modifying the boot scripts.

By remastering PiCore with all your required software "built-in" it
would be possible to run everything in RAM and unmount the SD card
entirely after boot.
