Comment (by rafa8626):

 @bradyvercher I see. That's where my knowledge on WP is limited. I agree
 with @ocean90 idea, and the PR I created contain must of the things you
 have listed. Last night, I updated MEJS to include a new method to
 override the issue with the features, so if the plan is to add a new JS
 just make sure that MEJS matches with the version of that PR. The
 `<mediaelement>` wrapper is needed since it's the fake node that allows
 all the other renderers to mimic the API, so that cannot change; to access
 the original tag, you have to use media.originalNode. Let me know if
 there's anything else I can help you, other than updating the PR as a
 baseline for the potential `mediaelement-migrate.js` file
