It seems like the LPEs would be enough for that eh? I mean you don't need final XML syntax (well you do, but don't need to test that as much) as much as having the same set of parameters in both to make sure those parameters can create all the effects that you're envisioning.
Vector effects are more flexible than LPEs. Vector effects can be used for things like shapes with multiple strokes, non-destructive boolean operations, offsets, etc. The main difference is that the output of vector effects is arbitrary, while the output of LPEs is always a single path or a group of paths.
For me the ideal solution would be to: 1. Implement vector effects with fallback using svg:switch, 2. Migrate LPEs to vector effects.
