after I posted.  For the record, to answer my own questions:

Plugins have to be supported on both major releases.

No, it won't work, and no, it shouldn't work.

According to racke, interoperability between Dancer::Plugin and
Dancer2::Plugin is too complicated and not much gain -- although
technically, it _is_ possible to do (as shumphrey suggested) using some
magic in a BEGIN block to check the definedness of $Dancer2::VERSION.
