Ive touched on this a couple times, but in short I think it would be very hard to put raster processing into duckdb and maintain acceptable performance/memory usage.

AFAIK the extension side of the C-API doesn't require any c++ code to function, you could theoretically just program against the header without any linking with all the api callbacks passed as function pointers at runtime. That's why we're generally trying to (slowly) invest more in the C-API.
