Is it possible to separate the Drive data store from the UI and use Google Cloud Storage instead for enterprise performance and permissions management reasons?

No. I believe Drive and Cloud Storage may have similar backends but they are very different products with very different use cases.
For example, Cloud Storage objects (files), once created, become immutable. This would not work with Drive.
With the Cloud Storage API though, you could build a Drive-like UI for your users.
