If so, then it isn't (have to [ access hard drive, load app, start app, parse CLI args ], and finally, make the fx call).

Of course it makes a system call. Only on state change, unlike your objection to polling.
Big deal. It's more overhead than calling into a shared library but nothing like continuous polling.

So only "half pregnant" ?
RPis run off of SD cards for hard drives.

So?
Would you like to explain how running a system call to spawn a program vs calling into a shared library on the same SDCard is a going to affect the card?
It could be a read-only filesystem and still work.

SD cards are S L O W ( latency ).
Hitting the disk is S L O W ( latency ).
Spawning tasks are S L O W ( latency ).
It is not frame/sample accurate like what the VST3 interface provides, so it misses the realtime DSP mark.
Only implements PLAY (according to your statement, not Stop, Pause, Mute=1/0, Volume=float)) so it misses the requisite state change mark.
As I said before, good to know, but it misses the realtime DSP requisite.
Think frame level accuracy processing, not populating a web page.
Does MC spawn a process every time it processes a single sample frame ? If not, WHY NOT ?
Awesome Donkey:
IMO if you're so concerned about latency, you probably shouldn't be using devices like Raspberry Pis with slow SD or eMMC storage for boot drives to begin with.
