If you need more than a handful of the major plugins (which won't break), you're likely better off with a different DE.
Also, if you install plugins and Gnome from different sources (like Gnome from your distro and plugins directly from the Gnome project's website), then YOU take on the job of making sure they're compatible.
With KDE and additional user-made Plasma widgets you have the same issue.
