My problem is that isFormValid must be processed server-side. I could 
add an hidden input for each validator and check it at the end but 
this is pretty heavy, not very secure, and I still need to add a test 
in javascript before the updater. I would rather prefer to use an Ajax 
request to get the value to test.

I looked at the example in the demo. SUEvaluator could be the trick to 
change the value of an hidden input.

But isn't there a simple way to do something like this :
onClick: ('if (', html ajaxRequest callback: [^ self isFormValid] 
,')', html updater... )
