These would moreso be general ideas, rather than things that would actually be needed, but some that have come to mind Include:
Separate bias and calibration settings on each channel (similar to UAD Studer A800 settings) which would be printed onto that channel during recording.
Bleed/ crosstalk for each channel, greater "damage" for the outside tracks.
A 24 track version would also be great.
Even though the idea of the plug in is more about committing and not getting hung up with the editing, the idea of having an edit window in which it is a graphic of the top of the machine and a splicing block, where you would have to scrub to find the edit points, then maybe click a pencil icon, turning the cursor to a white china marker where you mark your edit, then clicking a razorblade and having the ability to slice the tape (similar to splitting clips in pro tools) and then dragging and dropping in a separate part of the tape (session) or importing another session and then manually splicing them together, all with no undo function could be interesting. It would be labor inducing enough and with no undo, risky enough to make it a last resort or enough of a deterrent to make you just record the take again, while also allowing for interesting comps of songs recorded with different settings printed (eg Strawberry fields forever). No idea how it could all be done, but just an idea.
Possible high frequency roll off for the amount of time the track is recorded over (could be switched off in options)
When bouncing tracks down (EG Multiple Toms tracks to two tracks) the saturation and noise builds up.
Enjoying the DAW very much, has created some interesting results and made me work a lot harder at playing, which has been a great result. These are just some ideas, to make things even more authentic/ difficult, but also create some more limitations and interesting sounding recordings. If none of these are added in any way, I'm still happy using it and will look forward to see what else comes from it.
