Anyway, it turns out there IS an open source alternative already in development (albeit still at an early stage), and this is the kind of thing I was talking about. Since it's being developed by the Surge team I assume it's also very likely to appear in CLAP format at some point.

It's been a long time since I've used Shortcircuit, but IIRC, it doesn't currently support Direct from Disk (DFD). Without that, the huge multi-gig, multisampled, multi-round-robin libraries would take forever to load, if it can even load at all. You'd then be out of RAM. This is why I like LinuxSampler. It supports DFD.
