Are these actual Debian requirements (or just "nice-to-haves") that all JavaScript use packaged versions?

This seems very fragile

and I've only tested against certain versions of Angular, JQuery, JQuery UI (and a few others). Linking to a newer version will likely just break.
We'll see how it goes. I can make a case for leaving the vendored code in, but it will be up to the release team to decide whether this is ok to upload.
openshot-qt is packaged on most Linux distros, except for Debian. I'm super excited for openshot-qt to officially be available in Debian (and all the Debian derivatives). Please let me know if I can help.
Both Fedora and Arch provides openshot-qt via 3rd-party or community supported channels, similar to the PPA you currently maintain for Ubuntu. Those usually have relaxed packaging policies, and are not officially supported by the core distribution.
So, indeed openshot-qt is effectively *packaged* for other distros (except Debian as you pointed out), but none officially includes it in the core. This distinction is worth pointing out, as I am working towards this goal.
