The really core plasmoids, as in those in kdebase, include several technically tricky ones (the worst being the system tray) and some quite complex things like kicker. I think that with the dependency issues and the overhead, the gains of script plasmoids are probably not worth it for these. However, kdeplasma-addons is probably a very good place to introduce more scripted plasmoids. If I was proficient in a scripted language, I'd make nowplaying into just such an example.
