I would like to use firefly symbols like described here What’s New in ArcGIS Online? Firefly! - ArcGIS Blog  within a renderer in the ArcGIS API for JavaScript to render symbols from a point Feature Layer. Is this possible somehow?

Sure you can do this. I think the easiest way would be to symbolize your map using the ArcGIS Online Map Viewer then save the web map and look at the network traffic and view the web map json. You can then pull that info into your jsapi app. Here's an simple web map that uses the firefly symbol.

And here's a test app that uses the same symbology:

Here is a simple app that you can use to generate the firefly symbols that can be used with ArcGIS JS API:
