As you say, works well on simple click tracks and drum tracks.
Are you going to go for gold and write one that works on complex music?

but is there also the option to define how long the sound should stay on each side after the pan? like "switchovertime: 6 seconds", "remaintime" 2 seconds... In that plug-in, no, but if linear panning is OK then it would be quite easy to code. The underlying mechanism for pannin...
