So, here's an open question to plug-in developers, to put this forum
vehicle to the test...
Of all of these concepts (camera matrix, focal length, lighting
positions and properties, layer matrices, etc.), what would be the
bare minimum feature set you would need in an API in order to do
something interesting with 3D?
What would you need in order to do more advanced 3D effects?

Clearly you need the 4x4 matrix of the camera.
Yes.
Do you also need the 4x4 matrix of the layer the effect is applied
to? Do you need to get the matrices of all the layers in a scene?
Do you need to get the matrices for the lights in the scene?
In my opinion this would be a great addition.
With the matrices of all of the layers and the info where the light
are, a plugin can create effects around those layers which go along
with the camera movement within the 3D-space of Motion. But then it
is also very important to get the focal length of Motion's camera.
