That's being a bit presumptuous, I can think of few that are missing.

Sorry, I just don't see the utility of a VA (in the classical sense of
emulating circuits originally designed for opamps) in a modular synth, but
that's just me.

I'd rather see things like arbitrary waveform generators, delay lines,
loopers, CV controllable reverbs, plexes, cloud oscillators and other such
weirdness that doesn't make sense in the analog domain, than
yet-another-vintage-synth-emulation.

Anyway, people seem to be excited about it so that probably as good a
reason as any to try it.
