And obviously not having raw script access isn't a good thing. Nonetheless, the other nodes mostly work as advertised, in my limited experience so far, so the stuff that you'd expect to be able to do with them (e.g. FM/AM synthesis) seems to work pretty well.

AFAIK worklets are supposed to be script processor nodes that work performantly. They wouldn't solve the sample rate problems mentioned in TFA but apart from that I'd think they should be pretty usable if they someday work as advertised.
