It is a flaw in the design of LV2 that custom plugin GUIs both run in the
host process and have access to the DSP part of the plugin's internal
state. This was deemed necessary, I believe, in order to cater to vendors
of proprietary plugins, but the universal human trait of laziness means
that it will always and constantly be used as a way to bypass any difficult
aspect of GUI to DSP communication.
Without completely removing this mechanism and forcing custom plugin GUIs
to run in a separate process (and therefore use a formally defined
interface to the DSP component) LV2 will always be inadequate for your
purposes.
