Implications of Film Impact FX/Transition becoming 'native'

Question

Looking at the latest Beta it looks like the Film Impact tools have become 'truly native' in that they have replaced their now 'legacy' Premiere Pro counterparts.
 
When it was initially announced I already expressed some concerns regarding interopability. It would be really practical to see the effects also make it to AE because they seem very fast and have good appearance for what they do. But currently things as simple as
- "Gaussian Blur" now does not translate over to AE and the Legacy one does.
- Film Dissolve (Legacy) was later tuned to work nicely with ACEScct working space maintaining highlights but is now replaced by FI: Film Dissolve which looks dull like a display referred fade. (But at least the transition curves actually feel like starting at 0% rather than 20% like the legacy dissolves)
 
The problem is that legacy tools will inevitably be deprecated so far from ideal to keep using them.
 
Can Adobe say anything concrete about this problem? I would hope that ALL effects and transitions make it to AE but having at least the Effects side of things will remove a lot of friction in projects that use Premiere for offline editing and AE for online / finishing. For those workflows you are simply left out of using the effects unless you fully finish the project in Premiere which is simply not always practical or possible.

I think another really important thing to note as well is that Tools like the new blurs are arguably inferior because they're capped at 100 and can't go past that whearas the original blurs were capped at like 3000000 or something like that. I never go that high but I very often will have a gausian blur higher than 100 and since the only benifit the new blur offers over the old one is built in chromatic abberation I'd argue it's honestly worse - this is true for all the different blurs, not just gausian blur. Even Mosiac, which looks signficantly better and offers so many more controls loses out on both x and y axis size controls and is also capped at 200 when I usualy have mosiac anyhwere between 0 x 0 - 3840 x 2160, depending on if I'm bluring something, making a screen emulation effect, or making a moasiac out effect for the blured object.
