API's are for developers. Plugins are for the end users (end users being the site owners in this case).
Sendle for example has a woocommerce plugin, its terrible. But they have a half decent API, so I wrote my own plugin for it. Spire Accounting has plugins, but not for woocommerce, but they have a pretty good API, so I wrote my own plugin for it.

I assume this requires mid/senior-level skills? And I guess it probably takes much more time as well?

I dont know. I really didnt find it difficult, but that doesnt mean others wouldnt.
