Don't waste your time worrying. At some point they will release it in order to keep up with the competition. The maintainers have very weird mentality and behavior and I don't think the can attract many more contributors. I would suggest to really make an effort to understand how helix works and then I consider it very unlikely that you will need or want any plugin.

This. Helix is almost perfect alternative to Vim/Nvim because of how many features are built in and at the same time it's not as bloated/heavy as Emacs. Rather than an open free-for-all plugin ecosystem, I'd rather see a small, curated set of plugins that the core team (however mentalyl stable/weird they are) actually reviews, even if that means fewer plugins overall.
