I heard great impressions about Thumper and glad you felt the same.

I know this somewhat defeats the purpose but do you think PSVR games can be used with just the DS4 controller?

Was there any setups that let you use PSVR and watching videos or non-VR games?

Sadly, I didn't get to try the theater mode and I don't even think they had it set up at all.

Thumper just uses a DS4. Actually, when the guy went to hand me the controller I could actually see the controller in the game. Which I thought was cool. Honestly I think that as long as you aren't supposed to be just a normal human in a first person game, there would be no reason why you can't use a controller in a VR game.

I'll bet they actually had to do that.  Part of the motion sickness aspect of VR, is lack of a fixed object.  I recall Insomniac saying they had initially designed RIGs sans cockpit view, but added it in to stave off motion sickness.  They spoke specifically about that in one of their videos.
