Yeah, I got my Ronin plug a few weeks ago. It’s sitting in my tool box waiting for my next oil change. Seems like really nice quality.

Aluminum foil is your friend.
I have a 2016 5.0L with a Fumoto valve. No mess from the oil drain. But I use foil under and around the filter as I remove it to avoid spilling oil all over the skid plate.
I don't know what challenges you're facing with the plastic pan and the drain plug, but I've used that technique on lots of vehicles.

I have not seen the challenges with the plastic pans, but I, like you, feel our methods could work on many designs.
there is a company making easy oil drain plugs for the plastic pans, which are similar in concept to the Fumoto…. there was a thread on one just a day or two ago. I think the valve was $70.00, so its worth is subject to opinion.

This works well. I on the other hand have been using ziplock bags around the filters for years, not just on my current vehicle. seems to catch 98% or more of the oil.
