simple awnser, no

There is an increasing number of filters which do not fit into FFmpeg.
For a wide range of reasons. ATM these are simply inaccessable and
invissible to users.
With plugins you will be able to use filters that have ugly dependancies,
or cannot be in main FFmpeg for other reasons.
Or you can also choose not to touch them.

If there is interrest we can make releases with and without all plugins
(in fact i intend to include libpostproc in the next relaase)

thx
