I've contacted one of the MPV developers [1], and they said that there 
are plans for a shared library. However, they also re-iterated what the 
CMPlayer developer stated:

video output and a bunch of other stuff instead of native mpv functionality.

They also mentioned that the use of the planned shared library wouldn't 
work either:

to use the shared lib.
