I think you can totally start a .NET Runtime for a plugin. There are windows explorer plugins written in .NET - I know because Raymond Chen analyzed how they broke things :)
If you have freedom then you have the the freedom to make mistakes.
In Windows globals are tightly scoped to a DLL and cannot accidentally cross over, so multiple python interpreters are no problem if the python interpreter is statically linked in each python plugin.

Also, I doubt that you would have a very great time running both .NET and JVM in the same process. For one, both of them install signal handlers, and both of them do funky things with threads.
