Had some time and tried to implement that in the AudioSwitcher but it adds some complexity and additional libraries where as if it were to be built-in to Mediaportal would make it re-usable for all plugins.
Any possibility for the new HID handler could forward it to the OnMessage event that is currently in place for legacy support?

It would not provide any modifier key readouts as that is currently not possible with OnMessage event but wouldn't break any plugins or require updating them which for some might not be possible due to the developers no longer being active
Other solution might be to expand the OnMessage event to include more information like the modifier keys if possible or a new one to subscribe to which offers that.
