I still don’t understand why plugins that can’t be uninstalled are called plugins (and not modules or something like that), but I suppose there is a reason so, yes, I think that looks like a good compromise. Or instead of an icon, they could be listed in sub-section of the page (“Core-plugins”), or something like that.
