The fact that there's no tangible plan for any plugin support in Turbopack is actually what made me not choose Next.js.
The answer for people who need basically any build plugin is "use the webpack mode", and I have zero faith in Vercel maintaining that past the next major version.
I guess we'll see whether they figure out a story for plugins by then.
it is true that our plugin story is not fully fleshed out. We have good support for webpack loaders and have observed that that solves many (though not all usecases). This of course is one of the reasons we are still supporting webpack

Vendor lock-in. Next.js is great until it's not.
