I look at it as using `self-insert-command` *more*.

I don't see why not.  My best guess is that you find it inconvenient to
make the code work for Emacsen both with and without
`post-self-insert-hook`, but that seems easy enough to fix with
a (boundp 'post-self-insert-hook) or a version test.
[ Or even simpler by dropping support for Emacs<24, which recently
  turned 15, BTW. 🙂 ]

> I'm not happy about the state of c-electric-paren.

It should die and be replaced by the existing `electric-*-mode`s.
