  2nd this. Some clients can only direct play if the subs are external. If bazarr could be an all-in-one solution that would be amazing!
  Perhaps ffmpeg could be integrated for a simple way to do this?

  Yes please! I used to only use SubZero for my subtitles, together with Kitana (to get access to the GUI). Bazarr offers everything that SubZero offers and more, except for the extraction of the embedded subtitles. Because of this reason, I still have SubZero and Kitana running, to be able to extract the subtitles. If Bazarr will offer this functionality, it will be the absolute all in one solution for automatic subtitles.

  Extract existing srt (if choosen language is available) from video file. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/ExtractSubtitles
  Have existing bazarr processing and postprocessing options enabled to remove or add colors, tags etc.
  Have option to 'delete the extracted srt' captured from videofile; can also be done via ffmpeg

  To add to this, it would of course also be great if the same post-processing was applied to extracted subs as well (except for sync which wouldn't be necessary).

  I have a bash task which can do this if you want it. It will can re-add subtitles too. It was designed with the idea that plex only natively supports SubRip subtitles, so it explicitly removes all other subtitles, but with a configuration change, it could just remove all subtitles.
  
  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TeamJoe/MinecraftStuff/main/servers/DaveyJonesLocker/home/compression/plex-encoding.sh
  
  You can run this script in remove subtitles mode with the following command. It requires ffmpeg to be installed.
  
  bash plex-encoding.sh 'START' --audio 'copy' --ext '.mkv' --input '/home/public/Videos' --log --output '' --subtitle '' --subtitle-export-extension '' --subtitle-update 'export' --thread '1' --tmp '/home/public/tmp' --video 'copy'
