The situation today is certainly better than it was for those of us who got hit by the new rules before the payment services had caught up and had to do it all ourselves.
However, even the payment services today typically concentrate on adding the correct VAT rate onto initial purchases and possibly doing some sort of look-up to try to keep the required proof of location. They still won't do much to help you keep up to date with different tax rates for different types of service or in different territories, filing (and, if necessary, later re-filing) the MOSS returns themselves, knowing which location and therefore which tax rate to use for later payments after a customer starts an automatic recurring subscription of some kind, and so on.
And of course it's all relatively simple if you collect all your payments through the same payment method, such as Stripe and a plugin as you mentioned. If you're collecting through different channels then you're still going to have to reconcile all the figures yourself as well, at least with any payment systems I've ever seen.
