I wouldn't worry too much about other plugins. If a rogue plugin gets installed, they have access to every api and everything else, so its hard to hide data from them.
Having all the credentials in one place (credentials plugin) goes a long way to making it easy to monitor whats in use, deprecate and rotate credentials as needed, instead of having to go through every config screen and every job to change things. My vote is still a centralized system and not put credentials everywhere.
