I think you're just better off coding it in C++ :D. Especially locators, much faster, but other than that, I noticed that for VP2.0 override (at least for c++) you have to have the draw function for VP1.0 implemented too otherwise you cannot select the locator (even though one of to new API changes in Maya 2016 is the selection handling in VP2.0)
For drawing in VP2.0 I don't use the legacy draw method any more.
