I'm not following CS that much lately but I remember that ODE
integration was just good enough.

As for unified collision: I've added iDynamicsSystemCollider thing that
would let you to use colliders without dynamics properties in your
simulation. Unified collision and dynamics is already on place in its
limited form.

I think that unified tool chain for AI, physics and animation would be
more useful (all steps covered from Blender/Maya to AI state tree with
animation blending and physics integration). There are some free tools
already available (you can preview PhysX integration in Maya, or
Bullet in Blender), but you need to fill the gaps (i.e. finish
COLLADA handling in CS, add states editor etc.).
