WordPress.org has blocked WP Engine customers from updating and installing plugins and themes via WP Admin.

  Something I wonder, is it possible to have 3rd party plugin registries, so unconnected to .org ?

    Yes. It's all just PHP. You can write your own plugin that does all this.

    As far as I know, you can still download a plugin, install it in the plugin folder, and possibly restart WordPress, but it's a bit more risky. Installing a plugin via the admin interface is much more comfortable. That said, as a WP admin of a tiny commercial website, I find it distressing that someone else can influence the functionalities of my Website. I already didn't install Jetpack because I dislike the intrusiveness and, frankly, the spying by Autommatic which is enabled by this plugin on our revenues and commercial transactions. All this points toward a direction that is not pleasant.

    Not out of the box really. It's incredibly frustrating where everyone "rolls their own solution" for commercial plugins
