Well, new object types would definitely require DOM

No, why? It would require new inkscape: attributes for metadata, new SPSomething class, and probably a new tool. I don't see how DOM can be useful here - via DOM you get approximately the same information as by parsing SVG in a script, except that you get it much faster.

Yet a script can still create such an object in an SVG file, if necessary

do you think that running the scripts as you change parameters would be useful? I thought it would be too slow.

This is one possibility for those effects that do not require new object types. With scripts it will probably be too slow, but with DOM it might be acceptable.
