AFAIK, -plugincustomization is still the only means. It sure would be nice
to have something more efficient.

We are dealing with the same problem. For now there seems to be no
mature solution. What we are doing is to use the 'configuration' scope
as storage for global settings and copy them at startup over the
appropriate 'instance' settings.
If you can use an IPreferenceStore instance it should be possible to
configure the scope context to use the configuration scope for
preference lookups too.
Let me know if you find a more suitable solution.

2 and 3 are already provided. It is 1 that is not there yet.
