Has anyone expanded on this since? If not, I may have another look at it.
I recall having occasional issues with it back in 2015, though I could be wrong.

I think this is still the best solution for downloads. You could use full folder downloaders, but still have to specify the files somewhere (some config or in code) anyways.
With this include, a plugin actually using a resource, model for example, automagically parses all its dependencies without any fluff getting through. At least, that's what it should do.
