Node.js npm questions

Just looking for some advice.

Now that we have node.js and npms we can install, would it be advisable to install npm packages of things you know are probably coming to Wappler at some stage.

In my case I have been needing additional image cropping abilities in many of my CMS dashboards, like croppie http://foliotek.github.io/Croppie/ or cropper as an example.
I would hate to go through the manual job of adding this and then Wappler adds it themselves later on.

Maybe people that manually integrated Summernote before Wappler released it internally could give some insight as to what, if any issues they had moving their manual summernote installations over to the built in version.
