Just my opinion.
I would leave it up to the user, Some will consider added plugins 'bloat' that will never be used. Example: I still run a Gimp 2.10.14 appimage (the last where seamless-clone works) but I did unpack it and disable most of the plugins then add my own. Some plugins can have unexpected consequences, NuFRAW for example stops svg imports.
I might try that on the old laptop, I have full backups. My newer laptop runs kubuntu 20.04 and has taken time to get some stuff working, side-loading lib files that have 'gone' between 18.04 and 20.04 from what I see with 22.04 that is even more of a PITA.
Maybe, a bit too politically correct for me. Best thing about 'buntu are the PPA's Something there for everyone.
Anyway, bottom line is; your appimage to easily add python support is a great addition and much appreciated.
