There are many problems with the plugin ecosystem.
The big ones:
* Many don't work with pipelines (scm sync config plugin for example). And you don't know this until you try
* Upgrading a plugin can and often does have unintended, and hard to detect problems (only way to know is to run every job and find the failures)
* It's hard to automate plugin installation
