It might be worth replacing the raw clap-sys plugin code in the nice-plug crate with the clack-plugin crate.

The author of that crate has put a lot of time and thought into creating a safe abstraction, so it could be beneficial to use it for maintenance reasons.

I very much agree with this (as this was what Clack was designed for), but obviously I'm very biased. 😄

The code currently handling the CLAP plugin wrapper is quite chunky, so I would recommend making a piecemeal migration, rather than doing it all-at-once.

Most types and utilities in Clack are designed for interoperability with clap-sys, so you can migrate the codebase progressively.
