Mark and/or David!

The process we discussed to update existing rigs with newly released rigs (i.e allowing the action to simply position the newly released rig and using a plug-in {its name escapes me right now} to redo the cp assignments and weights and even dealing with smart skin {which I don't fully understand yet}...

...give the updates done on the latest release, does all this still seem possible and plausible?

Thanks!

As long as there are no bone changes, you can delete the squetch rig relationships and drag the new ones over to it.

As Mark said, if there aren't any bone changes, you can just replace Pose Relationships. If there are bone changes, re-doing the installation using the old Action then using Transfer AW to transfer the CP Weighting sounds like it should work. I haven't tried it, but it works in my head.
