Unfortunately, no, it wouldn't be possible for someone to do that, because the main problem has not to do with API changes, but rather binary ones -- along with changing the Ruby version, they also changed the compiler they are using, to one that is not even yet supported by the Maxwell SDK (not even for v4, I mean). That's something that can be handled for v4, because the SDK would have had to be built with that compiler at some point in time regardless, which ends up being now, precisely because of SU2017. But to support v3 would involve going back in time in the Maxwell code and getting everything running with this compiler, before then doing the same thing in the plugin, and though it may technically be possible to do that, it is not feasible, since it's not necessarily trivial to change compilers, given the third-party dependencies involved.
