I don't think MIDI has any place in a modern plugin API, except "something
translates incoming MIDI to internal messages".

Without wishing to start a religious war, I disagree. MIDI is one of the fundamental building blocks of practically all music and audio studios. Being able to process -- filter, split, merge, channelize, etc. -- MIDI streams as data/event pipelines per se is a basic functionality without which a plug-in API would not be too terribly practical.
