I know of one other user who found it useful and is using it. Haven't
heard anything from the devs...

Yes, svn_apply_autoprops.py could be modified to use the python api
and operate directly on the repository. (In fact, it has a comment
about it should be modified to use the API).
(However, I believe svn_apply_autoprops.py is in the client-side area
and my version has to run server-side.)
Ideally it would be nice to merge the functionality, but I'm probably
not in a position to perform that merge...
