One solution would be to provide the backing components for simple use-cases (like <sx:a...> and <sx:submit...> at least) and an integration with a couple JavaScript libraries, hopefully making it obvious enough that people could then implement their own back-end.
With simple components updating on backing library updates is easier, and (in theory) it makes it easier to understand how users can extend or create additional tags to suit their needs. So I vote +1 for removing the existing Dojo plugin (+0 for deprecating) and +1 for creating the simplistic components and example integrations.
