As a primarily modular synth user who also owns a boutique Eurorack synth company (Altered State Machines), I agree that the potential is there, but in my experience this is usually best handled "in the case", though of course your mileage may vary. The Polyend Poly2 has an enormous number of outs (I think 18, which can be reconfigured to your liking with the configuration software). Since it's in the case you don't have to constantly rewire it if you change locations.
I've also used the 64pixels CVOCD and it's in the case cousin Hexinverter mutant brain. Both work well, but it was a chore to have to rewire and remember what ports were set to do what with the CVOCD, the Mutant Brain also has the benefit of showing you what the gate outputs are doing with LEDs which were sorely lacking on the original. Also case power means not needing to keep track of a power brick.
There is a Befaco CV to MIDI module that I tried a while back, and it was really annoying to configure and I never really got much use out of it, unfortunately.
The Dudes (Darryl and Steve) are just getting started with modular now so it's possible that there will be more stuff splashing that way in the future if it continues to spark their interest.
