I agree and second that

I like and very much agree with the simplicity argument, it's in fact what I'm
currently doing within a latte dock, using my active application plasmoid
(https://github.com/kupiqu/plasma-active-application strongly derived from AWC)
and the official global menu side by side, while AWC buttons appear on the
opposite right corner only on maximized windows.

However I see a cons, having two different plasmoids for name and menu will not
be totally polished in my opinion. For instance, it won't resolve the latency
in the appearing between the name and the menus. Note that it is not currently
resolved for the appearing of the different menues in the official global menu
plasmoid itself, but it could. Please see:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=398357

In the end that issue made me stop integrating the name and the menu within a
single plasmoid, because until bug #398357 is not fixed, there is no much of a
point.
