While the native integration for StreamDeck Elgato can work it has some limitations. The Companion Software provides a number of additional functions/features and flexibility vs the native software. It would provide a highly efficient control service, especially with the StreamDeck XL, if an activator function was available for that software.

I realize that this will likely take a slightly different form than some of the midi based activators, but the ability to setup 8-16 inputs with a preview/pgm rows and leverage the activators could be a game changer.
