Although I like what you're trying to do, it's not really a viable
option imho.
I know we're all (still) reluctant to move on, but at some point we have
to admit Softimage is falling behind the curve.
Despite it's great workflow and ease of use.
Not to mention the rapid decline of Softimage related jobs that are out
there. Which is even more important a factor for a freelancer.
Over here there's - afaik - only one post studio left using Softimage,
and that will probably change in the near future.
So to be able to pay the bills, clinging on to Softimage for
post-production related work isn't an option for a lot of people.
With the above, there are basically two options, one is Maya, the other
Houdini.
Maya isn't that bad to switch to, it has become better with the latest
releases workflow wise. And it more or less behaves the same as
Softimage in many ways.
Houdini is a different beast, and will take some serious getting used to
due to the node based and procedural innards, but will give you tons of
freedom to play with.
So, like I said, the thoughts behind it are admirable, but it might be
time to start looking at something else for future developments.

it can be implemented through).
I know I would join a patreon or gumroad for that.
Because, and excuse me, Open source blender -addon maddness- it´s a
chimera (everyone developing at the same time, so many new things
because no one holds the "fryer by the handles"! (no one filters
what´s really necessary for the application to grow healthy)...
If that´s what´s going on on an Open source environment (and yes,
organization leads to neatness and efficiency), I´d much rather join
Gumroad or Patreon for anyone who´s willingly able to code what´s
mentioned on this thread.
Just and idea....just...an idea..
Best regards.
