I have a project in mind that calls for large "Electro-Mechanical Pixels".

Is it possible to drive individual relays instead of LEDs with peggy 2.0?

This is one of those "if you have to ask" cases. Yes, it can be done in limited circumstances, with certain types of relays, *if* you know what you are doing. It certainly wasn't one of the design goals, however.

(One of the things to keep in mind is that Peggy only turns on one row of LEDs at a time. Fast, so you can't tell. But relays might know the difference.)
