> An out of the box no TC or plugin solution is to make people select a single Topic for their Featured Topic, which is a core Discourse feature and do their updates there. This appears as a link on their user card. Supports one Topic only.

Yes, this is precisely what the feature is intended for. Create your status update topic, then make it a featured topic on your user profile (via your user preferences) and it’ll show up on your user card, etc.
